Anthony Kavanagh « Jet Lag »

On March 13, 2027, at the Théâtre de la Gaîté Montparnasse in Paris, Anthony Kavanagh presents Jet Lag. A Quebec comedian long established on the Francophone scene, he delivers an energetic, musical stand-up in which improvisation, impressions and dance naturally make an appearance. With Jet Lag, he plays on the disjunctions that mark his trajectory between Quebec and France: time zones, cultural codes, accents, references and the little everyday misunderstandings. The through-line is the observation of these tiny gaps which, when strung together, become fodder for stories and laughter.

On stage, Kavanagh alternates punchlines and pauses, moves from the mic to song, and slips in a vocal impression, a gimmick or a sidestep to rekindle the pace. His Quebec-style stand-up is rooted in the present and probes relationships, society and our habits with a direct, accessible gaze, without overemphasis. Jet Lag condenses this performer’s range into a fluid narrative, crafted for its encounter with the Parisian audience.
