Anthony Kavanagh « Jet Lag »

Anthony Kavanagh presents Jet Lag, his stand-up that does the splits between continents and customs, on January 22, 2027 at the Théâtre de la Gaîté Montparnasse in Paris. Born in Quebec, he has built a comedic style that blends observation, stagecraft and improvisation, using that shared language that spans both sides of the Atlantic. Jet Lag takes that thread and pulls it even further: cultural mismatches, different codes, the little everyday shocks you get when you travel a lot and live between here and there.

On stage, Kavanagh moves from storytelling to punchlines, slips in an impersonation, a groove, an accent, then returns to pure stand-up. He talks about relationships, modern society, those details that slip past us when everything moves too fast, and how we adjust to that pace. It’s direct, rhythmic, and uncompromising, with that Québécois tone that gently upends our certainties. Jet Lag is not a postcard but rather a travelogue: real situations, consciously embraced contrasts, and a way of linking Paris and Montreal nonstop. See you in Montparnasse for a clear-eyed, playful survey led by a comedian who keeps a curious eye and a keen sense of rhythm.
