Anthony Kavanagh « Jet Lag »

On February 11, 2027, at the Théâtre de la Gaîté Montparnasse in Paris, Anthony Kavanagh presents Jet Lag. A Québécois comedian, actor and singer, he delivers a lively stand-up that blends improv, storytelling and musical touches. Jet Lag examines the dislocations we bring back from travel, those we experience when cultures meet and when the world accelerates. Kavanagh starts from everyday life—relationships and contemporary society—and twists them with his sense of timing, his voices, his characters and his taste for play.

First revealed in the 1990s, he became known for shows where humour sits alongside music and impersonation. In Jet Lag he extends this strand: direct delivery, rapid shifts between characters and confessions, and space left for the moment when improvisation slips in. His stage signature is unmistakable: a Québécois perspective that plays off Parisian sensibilities to tell the story of what separates us and what brings us together. Join us at the Gaîté Montparnasse for this new chapter from Anthony Kavanagh.
