Do you know many Rotterdam comedians and are they different than other comedians?

What makes it so fun to play in Rotterdam?
Said: Audience in Rotterdam have a great sense of humour and love to laugh. That makes them the perfect audience to perform for.
Is the public different from other places in the Netherlands?

Said: I do not have any weird or odd experiences in Rotterdam.
