Leighland Beckman Returns! – GPYS 256

The Montreal arts and entertainment that asks comedian and musician Leighland Beckman: “If a group of crows is a murder, what is a group of you called?” Asked by Elspeth Wright back in episode 254.

Listeners of Go Plug Yourself already know who Leighland Beckman is, he has been sensually serenading you with our theme song for nearly a decade.

So we’re super happy to have him on the show to promote his upcoming Fringe show/album launch. Leighland has laid down a full length album with a complete backing band full of the dirtiest songs you will ever hear. To celebrate the release of “Aural Turpitude” Leighland is bringing “An Evening With Leighland Beckman” to the 2022 edition of the Saint-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival. Opening night is June 10th so get your tickets now. June 10th is also the release of the album which you can buy physical copies of at the show OR get on digital through leighlandbeckman.com.

Oh, Leighland also has the distinction of being the first recipient of three brand new questions that we decided on back in episode 255. Just another feather in his cap that just might tip the scales towards him receiving the Montreal Fringe Lifetime Achievement Award this year.

Also, we recorded this episode outside on Walter’s balcony so sometimes you might hear: garbage trucks, a hedge trimmer or something and crows.

Enjoy the show!

Go Plug Yourself Episode 100!

More than 4 years ago sitting in Girouard park with Sarah, Raz and Walter I turned to Walter and was like “we should do a podcast, it will be easy.” He was like “ok.” A few weeks later I was like “ok, I bought mics and stuff when are we doing this?” and he was like “oh, you were being serious?” Anyhow, 4 years and 100 episodes later (not counting our infamous “non-canon” Just For Laughs, Fringe and New Year’s $#!% Shows) we’re still at it. We pulled out all the stops (there really weren’t that many stops) for our 100th episode, we took the show live for the first time ever at ComedyWorks, we got Leighland Beckman to play our song live, we got Mike Paterson to tell weird stories about Walter, we got live music from Nick Raz, live poetry and soundscape from Mike Carrozza and delicious pizza from Sapori di Napoli from Guido Grasso. Here’s to another 100!GPYS100

There are so many plugs on this episode you guys it’s hard to keep track. Let’s try to get to the big ones:

Mike Paterson’s documentary about medical marijuana “Grass Fed” available on iTunes.
Mike Paterson’s billingual comedy night Wednesday’s at Don B Comber “Unleash TA BÊTE”
Leighland’s upcoming Dirty Show February 19th at Comedyworks, tickets here.
Mike Carrozza’s upcoming episode of Mike Carrozza Knows Everybody! on February 20th and his Fringe show this summer (details on his official website).
If you liked “Opposite Day” from Nick Raz, you should check his performance solo acapella harmonizing awesomeness of “The Sea Monster’s Bath” and seriously book him for children’s events.
Finally, for the absolute best pizza in Montreal you should go to Sapori di Napoli and also pay attention to Guido’s official page for his next run of comedy shows, whenever that may be.

As always, a big thank you to the providers of our theme song: Aural Turpitude!

Go Plug Yourself 21: Leighland Beckman (of Aural Turpitude)

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting, Uncategorized

While Leighland wasn’t our first guest who was a musician (in fact, we’ve had several guests who are musicians: Bones Malones, Colt Cousins, The BCASA and well, I mean Mike P and Massimo were in a musical and Mike P does some music stuff on his own too) he was the first guest to perform live music on the podcast! He performs two songs in this episode and boy are they filthy. You might notice that Walter says “Dont’ Call it a Comeback” an inordinate amount of times in this episode. I think it’s because we hadn’t recorded in over a month so he felt like we took time off or something, maybe he didn’t realize that we banked two episodes so that you, the listener would not be impacted. Or maybe it was because Walter is a big jerk. I like that I get to write up the blurbs since he basically can’t talk back to me in these.

You can visit Leighland’s band page (Aural Turpitude) and check out some of the tunes on Soundcloud or there’s that twitter thing too @auralturpitude. However, by the band and Leighland’s own admission you probably should do any of these things if you consider yourself a moral and decent person.

Don’t call it a comeback!
