Anthony Kavanagh « Jet Lag »

On January 21, 2027 at the Théâtre de la Gaîté Montparnasse, Anthony Kavanagh presents Jet Lag, a stand-up conceived as a journey between two worlds. A Québécois comedian firmly rooted between Montreal and Paris, he plays with jet lag—both the time-zone kind and the cultural kind—and turns that disorientation into a playground. He tells of life in transit, small travel mishaps, unlikely encounters, and how the road alters our habits, our loves and our certainties.

On stage, his sense of rhythm and improv are on full display, with moments when music and impressions appear without warning, and writing that seizes everyday life to turn it inside out. Between differences in expression, linguistic misunderstandings and clashes of lifestyles, Jet Lag observes our connected era that’s still a little out of step. With an accent that drifts between worlds, asides and a taste for storytelling, Kavanagh plots a direct route between Quebec and France, without unnecessary baggage, for a show that speaks to those who travel a lot, a little, or only in their heads. Meet at the Théâtre de la Gaîté Montparnasse to embark.
