Early Life

Anthony Lambert, known as Jarry, was born prematurely on August 5, 1977, in Angers, Maine-et-Loire, France, following a car accident.

Raised in Rablay-sur-Layon, a small village near Angers, he grew up in a working-class family of viticulturists on his mother’s side and foundry workers on his father’s. Of French nationality and presumed Caucasian ethnicity, his religious beliefs are not documented. With three brothers, Jarry found his passion for performance early, dancing in his room while his siblings played football.

Education

Jarry pursued a baccalauréat in economics and social sciences in Angers, though the specific schools are not detailed. At 22, he moved to Paris to study acting, joining the Entrées de Jeu theater company under Bernard Grosjean, where he developed his improvisation skills over a decade.

Career

Jarry began his career in 2001, performing in cafés-théâtres and appearing on Graines de Star. He joined the Entrées de Jeu company, where he refined his improvisation skills for 10 years.

His early acting roles included short films and theater, but his film debut came in 2008 with De l’autre côté du lit, in which he played a client, followed by Bambou (2009) as Loïc and Les Trois Frères: Le Retour (2014) as a banker.

Encouraged by Didier Bourdon to pursue comedy, Jarry debuted his autobiographical one-person show Entre fous émois in 2007, followed by Atypique in 2013, which toured France at venues like Instinct Théâtre and the Comédie des Boulevards. His 2023 show, Bonhomme, played at major venues such as the Olympia and the Zénith.

On television, Jarry became a regular on Vendredi Tout est permis (TF1) and co-hosted Le Grand Bêtisier with Karine Ferri (2017–2018). He commented on the Eurovision Song Contest semi-finals on France 4 (2016–2017) with Marianne James and was a jury member on Mask Singer (TF1, 2019–2022). From July 2020 to August 2022, he hosted Good Singers on TF1, and from June 2022, Le Big Show on France 2.

He presented Tout le monde veut prendre sa place on France 2 from August 2023 to July 2024, leaving to focus on his Bonhomme tour. Jarry also directed shows like Jeff Panacloc perd le contrôle and Seule dans sa culotte. In 2025, he continues his tour and TV appearances, maintaining his status as a comedic powerhouse.

Personal Life

Jarry, 48, resides in Paris, France, and is in a relationship with a man whose identity he keeps private, though he’s been open about their bond since meeting over a decade ago. They welcomed twins, Vic and Tim, in June 2016 via surrogacy in the U.S. Standing at 6 feet with a lean build, Jarry’s energetic persona shines on stage.

A Leo with a Snake Chinese zodiac sign, he discovered his homosexuality at 27 after nearly marrying a woman, an experience he shared candidly on Je t’aime etc., describing a pivotal moment with his fiancée’s brother. He teaches theater in schools and prisons and has trained teachers in Morocco, Tunisia, and Mali.

Net Worth

Jarry’s net Worth is estimated at $2 million to $13 million. His income comes from his one-person shows, TV hosting (Tout le monde veut prendre sa place, Good Singers), acting roles, and directing.

A 2025 source estimates his monthly earnings at €7,000, suggesting an annual income of €84,000, though this seems low given his high-profile projects. Instagram sponsorships may add $1,000-$2,000 per post, per Influencer Marketing Hub.
