Anthony Kavanagh « Jet Lag »

Anthony Kavanagh arrives in Paris with Jet Lag, his show shaped around Quebec-style stand-up. On April 8, 2027 at the Théâtre de la Gaîté Montparnasse, the comedian presents the blend he’s known for: mic in hand, improv, music, dance and impressions, all serving a vivid narrative. First brought to public attention in the 1990s, he has honed a stagecraft where everyday observation meets self-deprecation and a keen sense of rhythm.

With Jet Lag, he plays on the disjunctions that come with travel, cultures and our relationships. He moves from one anecdote to another, slips from one character to a voice, and bounces off the small details that can turn a day upside down. Between Quebec and France, he has fun with the differences without losing sight of what matters: how we adapt, how we speak to one another, and what connects us.

An actor and occasional voice-over artist, he brings that range into his stage work, multiplying shifts in tone without losing the thread. The result is a fast-paced stand-up, punctuated with musical touches, in which we follow a storyteller who loves to move, experiment, improvise and share the moment with the audience.
