Anthony Kavanagh

On May 21, 2026, Anthony Kavanagh gave a preview of a new work-in-progress at the Destino in Mâcon. A comedian, singer and actor from Quebec, he built his reputation on brisk, agile stand-up that welcomes improvisation, where he likes to blend speech, music, impressions and a little dance. Here he appears in a stage laboratory, testing brand-new ideas and refining the material in contact with the audience.

True to his preferred themes, Kavanagh explores cultural gaps, relationships and the contradictions that contemporary society carries, with a direct and accessible perspective. His way of moving from a quip to a more sensitive moment, then reigniting the momentum with rhythmic play or a surprising vocal turn, gives his shows a very lively dimension.

This preview at the Destino promises a moment of creation in motion, where the artist adjusts, trims and weaves his discoveries before the final version. A rare opportunity to watch the show being made before your eyes, in Mâcon.
