Movies - Jeff Panacloc - in pursuit of Jean-Marc : Discover the trailer

By Mulder, 22 september 2023

For Christmas 2023, Jeff Panacloc and Jean-Marc are finally coming to the big screen. After a complete tour of the Zeniths, shows that have brought together nearly 10 million people in front of their TV, Jeff Panacloc arrives for the first time in the cinema. Embark on a crazy adventure and discover the origins of the unmissable duo.

A former electrician, Damien Colcanap met French ventriloquist David Michel at the age of 18 in a Parisian cabaret. It was a revelation that led him to become interested in ventriloquism and to make a living from it. In 2009, he became a full-time ventriloquist and took the stage name of Jeff Panacloc (whose last name is his real name written backwards). He wrote his first show, Jeff Panacloc et Jean-Marc, and performed it for 4 months at the Théâtre du Temple. Jean-Marc, his puppet, is a politically incorrect and rude monkey, with well-known lines such as "He's happy! ("He's happy!") and "Salut les trouducs! ("Hi assholes!").

Jean-Marc, Jeff Panacloc's puppet, is very rude and insults the audience by telling them they are assholes when he is on stage and during TV shows. A fan club, Team Trouduc, was also created. In 2014, Jeff and Jean-Marc released a single, J'suis quand même beau ("I'm handsome anyway"). In the summer of 2015, they released another single, J'temmerde, ("I'm bored to death"), which they sang on Patrick Sébastien's show, Fête de la musique, du soleil et des tubes on France 2.

Synopsis: 
Jeff Panacloc and Jean-Marc, the duo who have won over millions of cinema-goers, are coming to theaters for the first time. Jeff, a quiet, somewhat candid man, crosses paths with Jean-Marc, a stuffed monkey who has just escaped from a military base. Special feature: this stuffed animal... is alive. Jean-Marc, unashamed and unfiltered, takes Jeff on a wild adventure. Between chases, laughter and zany situations, nothing goes as planned!
