Jeff Panacloc

Jeff Panacloc, born Damien Colcanap, is a French comedian and ventriloquist from Nogent‑sur‑Marne. He rose to prominence in the early 2010s thanks to his explosive partnership with his puppet Jean‑Marc, an impertinent monkey who speaks with unabashed frankness. Together they shake up the conventions of comedy by blending ventriloquism, sketching and social satire in a style that is at once provocative and endearing. Jean‑Marc’s coarse tone and Jeff’s kindly quick retorts form a distinctive comic duo, balancing insolence and tenderness. After several successful tours and memorable TV appearances, Jeff Panacloc has established himself as one of the most popular performers of his generation. His comedy relies on constant interaction with the audience and a tightly staged rhythm that pairs technical skill with spontaneity. Beyond the entertainment, he champions a modern, lively ventriloquism, reviving a rare tradition in the French stand‑up scene while reinventing it with boldness.
