Damien Colcanap

Damien Colcanap (born 8 September 1986), better known as Jeff Panacloc, is a French ventriloquist and stand-up comedian. A former electrician, he met French ventriloquist David Michel at the age of 18 in a Parisian cabaret club, an eye-opener that led him to take an interest in ventriloquism and make a living from it.

In 2009, he became a full-time ventriloquist and took the stage name Jeff Panacloc, the surname of which is his real surname written back to front. He wrote his first show, Jeff Panacloc et Jean-Marc, and performed it for four months at Le Temple Theatre. Jean-Marc, his puppet, is a politically incorrect, rude monkey with well-known retorts such as Il est content! (He's happy!) and Salut les trouducs! (Hi assholes!).

Jean-Marc is very rude and insults the audience on stage and during TV shows, and a fan club, Team Trouduc, has been created in response. In 2014, Jeff and Jean-Marc released a single, J'suis quand même beau, and in the summer of 2015 they released another single, J'temmerde, which they sang on Patrick Sébastien's TV show on France 2.
