Comedy Arts & Theatre

The Jeff Panacloc Company brings the irreverent ventriloquist and his notorious puppet Jean-Marc to ZENITH D'AUVERGNE in Cournon d'Auvergne for a night of unfiltered comedy. Jeff Panacloc, born Damien Colcanap, has become France's most celebrated ventriloquist by pairing sharp comedic timing with Jean-Marc—a politically incorrect monkey puppet known for shocking audience interactions and hilarious retorts. Following the success of his third show, Adventure, which sold out major venues across France, Panacloc continues to push the boundaries of stand-up ventriloquism with provocative humor and audience engagement that keeps spectators both laughing and slightly uncomfortable.
Since meeting ventriloquist David Michel at age 18, Panacloc has evolved from an electrician to an international comedy phenomenon, performing in New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and San Francisco. His signature brand of comedy—blending ventriloquism with sharp social commentary—has made him a household name on French television and beyond. ZENITH D'AUVERGNE, a premier entertainment venue in the Auvergne region, provides the perfect stage for this high-energy performance that promises an evening of unscripted chaos and genuine laughter.
