Comedians born in Bursa

Sprawling at the foot of Mount Uludağ in northwestern Turkey, Bursa was the first capital of the Ottoman Empire and remains rich in early Ottoman monuments, among them the Green Mosque and Green Tomb. Known as Green Bursa for its gardens and setting, it is a centre of silk, textiles, and the automotive industry, and gave its name to the İskender kebab. Turkey's expanding stand-up scene reaches the city through its theatres and cultural centres.
