L'artiste Anthony Kavanagh de retour au Québec

overall I appeal to white people who say

"I'm not racist, I love Cabana!"

In your new show,
we find the good old

Anthony Kavanagh

the one who is well spoken,
makes imitations

makes sounds, and also sings.

This is what you wanted to do

after 35 years, come back

with the first Anthony Kavanagh?

I wanted to find the craziness I had

in the first show

Honey, smile, I love you!

Aaaaaaaaaah!

Away with your camera, you disgust me!

My co-author saw it 10 000 times

to try to find the structure
of the first show

and essentially
I gave myself a little gift

because the show starts with running
from left to right

and I am really out of breath
by the end

I was convinced
you were going to fall

it was too much!

And you’re no longer a young one, huh?

no no no no no no

I am 75 years old.

Black don’t crack

There are many people
who tell me

I was at your first show in the 90s"

and who remembered

there are small references
to all my old shows

but ...

but I wanted to to find
that craziness

with of course, something more

with the key… the key
to a good time.

And you, would you honestly
be with me if I were fat?

Yes, of course!

You go far in this show
You attack…

you are a bit transphobic,
a bit misogynistic

There were women in the crowd
who weren’t happy.

Well it’s expected

It should sting a little

And you know I said
at the start of the show

there will be jokes about this
about that, about that

So, prepare yourself.

Leave if you aren’t ready.

What shocks me is
people come to see comedy shows

and get shocked.

Don’t go to comedy shows!

A comedy show will sting

because the comedian

will give their point of view
on what they see in society

and they will exaggerate things
and it will be shocking

But I laugh at men, I laugh at women

I laugh at black, white, yellow,
green

straight, non binaries,
everyone.

Everyone is put on guard
in the show

The doctor resuscitated me,
he said: “Mr. Kavanagh,

Everything is fine.
You have sepsis,

a triple embolism
and a pulmonary infarction.
