Excerpt from the Wikipedia article
The Cologne Comedy Festival is an international comedy festival held in Cologne, Germany, every year since 1991. It was founded by Achim Rohde in 1990 in Kleve. The festival initially started by importing comedians from around the world. During the 1990s, stand-up comedy became popular with young German audiences, who had experienced it whilst living outside Germany. This led to home-grown comedy acts, which in turn caused the growth of the festival until its present size, where stars of German and of international comedy perform in more than 20 sold-out venues, ranging from small clubs to large theatres. Many German comedy acts were discovered at this festival.
