Anthony Kavanagh

On May 26, 2026, Anthony Kavanagh took up residence at La Compagnie du Café‑Théâtre in Nantes to workshop his new show. A Québécois comedian, singer, actor and presenter, he first came to prominence in the 1990s before establishing himself firmly on the French‑speaking scene with shows such as Anthony Kavanagh fait son coming out, Anthonykavanagh.com and Showman. On stage he moves between stand‑up, music, dance and impressions, with a marked taste for improvisation and interaction with the audience.

This preview run is an opportunity to see texts being born, to follow threads that are still hot, and to witness adjustments made in real time. Anthony Kavanagh explores his preferred themes there: cultural clashes, relationships, our connected society and the search for meaning, alternating jokes, stories and asides. He tests, trims, refines, takes detours and seeks the right rhythm. It is a creative stage close to his manner—lively and direct—offering a moment when the material for the future show is being made before your eyes.
