Comedians born in Tunis

Tunis is the capital of Tunisia and the country's largest city, rising above a lagoon on the North African coast where Arab, Berber and French influences meet. Its walled medina is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and the ruins of ancient Carthage lie just to the northeast. As a hub of politics and culture in the Maghreb, Tunis has an increasingly visible comedy scene, with Arabic and French language stand-up performed in theatres and cultural spaces as the art form spreads.

Comedians born in the city include Lotfi Abdelli, Bassem Hamraoui and Michel Boujenah.
