Comedians born in Zaandam

North of Amsterdam in the province of North Holland, Zaandam is the main town of the Zaan region, an area shaped by centuries of windmill-powered industry. Its distinctive green wooden houses and the nearby historic windmills draw many visitors, and the striking modern architecture of its centre has become a landmark in its own right. Close to the capital, Zaandam shares easily in the Netherlands' vibrant cabaret and stand-up comedy scene.
