Anthony Kavanagh « Jet Lag »

On April 17, 2027 at the Théâtre de la Gaîté Montparnasse in Paris, Anthony Kavanagh returns to the stage with Jet Lag. A Québécois comedian, actor and showman, he has navigated since his debut between Montreal-style stand-up, groove, impressions and a knack for improvisation, with his own way of keeping the energy flowing and shifting pace in the blink of an eye. In Jet Lag, he plays with offsets — those between cultures, eras and ways of living — turning everyday scenes and inner journeys into lively, funny material.

First revealed in the 1990s, Anthony Kavanagh has built his universe around subjects that speak to everyone: cultural differences, romantic bonds, modern society, the search for meaning. On stage he takes these themes a step further, blending punchlines, showmanship and musical pacing without losing the narrative thread. His stage presence finds a new angle here, more direct and more intimate, where one moves from an accent to a character, from a personal anecdote to an observation about our times, always with a taste for playfulness and the unexpected. Jet Lag is his playground for looking at our world from an angle and resetting the clocks.
