Comedians born in Geneva

At the southern tip of Lake Geneva where the Rhone flows out, Geneva is a compact but globally influential city, French-speaking and famously international. It hosts the European headquarters of the United Nations, the Red Cross, and numerous world bodies, and is a byword for diplomacy, banking, and luxury watchmaking. Its landmark Jet d'Eau fountain shoots high over the lake. Cosmopolitan and multilingual, Geneva draws touring comedians and supports a growing English- and French-language stand-up scene.
