Anthony Kavanagh « Jet Lag »

Anthony Kavanagh returns with Jet Lag, a stand‑up shaped by his constant back‑and‑forth between Québec and France. On January 16, 2027, he will take the stage at the Théâtre de la Gaîté Montparnasse, bringing his sense of showmanship that blends Quebec‑style stand‑up, improvisation and musical winks. Jet Lag probes that feeling of disorientation that clings to travel, to languages that collide, to habits that don’t match, and more broadly to our rushed lives in which we try to keep to our own internal time.

On stage, Kavanagh moves between accents, characters and rhythms, shifts from sharp observation to more intimate confession, and uses his body as much as his words. He sketches cultural differences, relationships, the always‑connected society and the search for meaning that runs through a generation, taking the audience on a nonstop journey. True to his signature, he slips in impressions, sung detours and sudden tonal changes to turn each anecdote into a playful moment. Jet Lag is his ideal landing ground: a show that looks at the world through that slight misalignment that gives rise to laughter, and sometimes to a simple truth.
