Anthony Kavanagh « Jet Lag »

On January 28, 2027 at the Théâtre de la Gaîté Montparnasse, Anthony Kavanagh presents Jet Lag. A Québécois comedian, actor and singer who emerged in the 1990s, he established a lively stand-up style that blends improvisation, impressions, music and stage movement. In Jet Lag he plays with different kinds of “jet lag”: time-zone shifts, cultural gaps and generational divides. From Montreal to Paris, he dissects today’s habits, codes and relationships while navigating accents and points of view.

Kavanagh relies on a very physical stage presence and an ease in moving from narrative to sketch, from the microphone to a few dance steps, without losing the thread. His favoured themes are present: cultural differences, modern life and the search for meaning — all handled with calm frankness and a sense of rhythm drawn from his love of music. Jet Lag brings together what defines his signature: a Québécois brand of stand-up that is open, rhythmic and where improvisation keeps each situation alive. A Parisian rendezvous to follow an artist who enjoys crossing borders, formats and languages, and to hear how those round trips change our lives.
