Raajiee Chelliah – Go Plug Yourself 283

by on August 17, 2023 at 6:00 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks comedian Raajiee Chelliah: What is the most important aspect of being a Montrealer? That question was asked by Joe Garque from the Under Pressure Graffiti Festival back in episode 282.

Raajiee Chelliah is the very epitome of a rising star in the Montreal comedy scene. We can say this with certainty because as she mentions in the episode: she landed a JFL spot in her first year of doing comedy. That’s crazy. I guess that’s what it’s like to be incredibly talented.

But I digress.

Chris Venditto joins me as co-host for this episode and we talk about movies, television shows, Just for Laughs and all sorts of things related to Montreal comedy. Do yourself a favor and pay attention to Raajiee Chelliah so you can be one of those people who can say “I saw her when…” after she blows way the fuck up in the very near future.

Raajiee Chelliah is @raajieeeee on TikTok and @raaaaajieee on Instagram because that’s not confusing at all.

GPYS 274 – Elie Gill

by on March 15, 2023 at 9:49 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks comedian Elie Gill: What is your ideal sandwich? That question asked back in episode 273 by the hot dog loving Amanda McQueen (we also ask the insane secondary question: What tattoo would you let Keith give you?)

Elie Gill is a Montreal comedian and independent journalist who just got back from London to do this show.

That’s right, we flew her in from London just so she could come to the back of Grumpy’s and record this podcast.

Listen, this episode gets pretty deep into cultural politics, the rise of right-wing Nationalism and how maybe narrow-minded assholes are ruining the whole world for the rest of us.

But we also talk about sandwiches!

Perhaps most importantly, she is producing her first show “The Empress Comedy Show” as part of the inaugural Gigglefest Montreal. The show will feature an All-Asian, all-star lineup of talented women: Yumi Blake, Andrina Learmonth, Diana Reyes, Joanna Selvarajah, Mariam Khan and Kayla de Leon. Elie Gill will be hosting the whole thing April 8th at Lord William Pub at 8 pm. Get your tickets now you so and so.

Oh! You can also catch Elie Gill next Thursday (March 23rd) at Rustik Comedy (hosted by our friends Mike Carrozza and Walter J. Lyng) at Rustik in NDG.

Listen to this show!

Pat Hickey – GPYS 272

by on February 16, 2023 at 6:52 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks legendary Montreal Gazette columnist Pat Hickey: “What is the most memorable commercial you’ve ever seen?” That question asked by the one and only Josh Clarke back in episode 270.

To say that Pat Hickey has had a tremendous career would be an understatement. If you listen carefully to this podcast you might hear my mind explode several times.

Pat Hickey buying a bottle of champagne at Studio 54 after a Yankees game? Mind blown.

Pat Hickey covering Jean Beliveau’s 500th career goal? Mind blown.

The list goes on and on.

If you haven’t heard, Pat Hickey recently announced that he would be retiring voluntarily amidst some cuts at the Montreal Gazette so that some younger writers might hang on to their jobs. Class act through and through.

Chris Venditto steps up as c0-host as this one and is also the man who made this interview happen. Big thanks to Chris for making this happen and of course to Mr. Hickey himself who I’m sure has hours and hours of stories to tell (perhaps in a book that may or may not be written during his upcoming retirement).

Enjoy the show!

Pat Hickey – pictured here with Montreal Canadiens coach Martin St. Louis – fun fact, by my estimate St. Louis may be the 24th coach that Pat has covered behind the bench of the team. Give or take.

GPYS 271 – The Best Montreal Podcast In The World!

by on February 2, 2023 at 10:36 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The best Montreal podcast that realized that it was way too snowy and cold to attract a guest is back baby!

But listen up – our host depth chart is so deep that it doesn’t even matter that we don’t have what some would call a “guest” on this episode.

Top Montreal comedians Lawrence Corber and Chris Venditto join my wife and I to talk a lot about snow. Seriously, half this episode is literally about snow and snow removal.

I wish I was kidding.

Am I going to say that we revolutionize podcasting in this episode? That we take the constructs of a podcast and disintegrate it with our tremendous podcasting expertise, talent and brilliance? No, I won’t say that. But if you could, possibly on social media, while tagging us, that would be greatly appreciated.

We reinvented podcasting tonight. And we did it for you.

Joshua Clarke – GPYS 270

by on January 19, 2023 at 8:16 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal arts and culture podcast that asks Montreal Comedian, Vocalist and Freestyle Rap WORLD CHAMPION Joshua Clarke: “If you were a celebrity with a ton of time on your hands what hobby do you adopt?” That question was asked back in episode 268 by Serag Meletian.

It’s been a minute since we had Joshua Clarke on the show, about 5 years worth of minutes in fact.

Walter J. Lyng steps into co-hosting duties for this one (Joshua is after all a member of the Legion of Dads) and we talk all about comedy, the Jazz festival and what’s coming up for him in 2023.

Do yourself a favour and listen to this episode. Seriously.

Do it.

Serag Meletian – Go Plug Yourself 269

by on December 7, 2022 at 10:54 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks comedian Serag Meletian: “What is a choice you made in your life that you wish you could change?” That question asked by Julian Sher, journalist and documentarian back in episode 268 (which you can listen to here).

In 269 episodes it is shocking to me that we have never had Serag Meletian on the show as a “main guest”. Do you know how respected he is in the Montreal comedy scene? Very.

And I don’t think it was a Walter thing, I saw Serag over at Walter’s house just a couple of weeks ago. But no – somehow the only time we’ve ever had him on the show was back in 2019 where he was one “and Friends” in our “Scott Carter and Friends” episode.  That was nearly 100 episodes ago!

This injustice must come to an end! And so it has. We welcome Serag Melatian to the show for the very first time as a main guest and we welcome the conversation that ensues, even if it’s about patricide, Gundams and wrestling.

Also – Chris Venditto is back baby! He’s on the mend! It’s a Christmas miracle!

Follow Serag on Instagram: meletian_falcon on Twitter @MeletianFalcon and I’m sure almost everywhere else too if you just search for some combination of “Meletian Falcon” because it’s an absolutely killer user name.

Enjoy the show.

Mike Paterson Returns! – Go Plug Yourself 264

by on October 13, 2022 at 7:08 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks the most electrifying man in Montreal comedy Mike Paterson: If you could cast yourself in any movie, what role would you be? Asked by none other than Tranna Wintour back in episode 263.

Mike Paterson has been a guest on this show an incredible 7 times, but it has been 4 years since we’ve had the pleasure of hosting him on Go Plug Yourself. He sang the Canadian National Anthem at Go Plug Yourself 150 in front of a packed house at Mainline Theater back in 2018 and then went on to sing the National Anthem to over 20,000 people at the Bell Center this summer as part of Mike Ward’s “Sous écoute” podcast recording. 

Yeah, our podcast is basically as big as Mike Ward’s.

But we’re not here to plug Mike Ward’s podcast. No! We are here to tell you that Mike Paterson has gone to Hell! 

Mike Paterson: Live from Hell is a comedy special event happening Thursday October 19th at Studio TD in beautiful downtown Montreal and will feature Mike talking about being in the film Prey, being a dad, wrestling and much more! Get your tickets now on Ticketmaster!

And in the meantime: enjoy the show!

Viveth K – Go Plug Yourself Podcast 258

by on June 23, 2022 at 7:24 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Just for Laughs, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal comedy podcast that asks Viveth K: “Who was your childhood crush?” – asked by the cast of “The Adoption” (aka Eve Parker Finley, Nicky Fournier & Amanda McQueen) back in episode 257.

Hot off the heels of his appearance at the Winnipeg Comedy Festival (which I’m sure actually did make his mom proud) Viveth K is ramping up for his upcoming Zoofest OFFJFL show “True Things We Made Up” (alongside other Go Plug Yourself friends Serag Meletian and Tyler Lemco) this July 21st and 25th.

Viveth joins Chris Venditto and I to talk about that show, getting pulled over by racist cops, his plan for an extensive tattoo detailing the 2020 Lakers championship win and much, much more.

Finally, Chris and the other boys from Perfect Bite have an entire summer of laughs cooking and it keeps rolling on THIS Saturday June 25th at Café Cleopatra where Derek Seguin and Joey Elias double-headline the Summer Comedy Blockbuster. Get your tickets for that!

Enjoy the show and as always we are entertaining any and all offers from potential advertisers.

Elspeth Wright Returns! – GPYS 254

by on April 28, 2022 at 5:42 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal arts and entertainment podcast that dares to ask comedian Elspeth Wright: “What are your thoughts on two-way mirrors?” – that question of course asked by none other than Mike Carrozza in episode 253.

Elspeth Wright is one of those comedians who has made her presence felt in a big way in the Montreal comedy. Not only featuring on shows all over town but also producing a bunch of amazing and unique comedy shows across the city. She’s the host of Battle of Wits at the Diving Bell Social Club up on St-Laurent and has just launched a brand new night of comedy at the new Montreal Improv location on Notre-Dame Ouest in Saint Henri.

“Stand Up Saint-Henri” is going to be happening every Tuesday from May 10th onwards and will feature a special focus on queer and non-binary performers (while also playing host to “acceptable bros” like our very own Chris Venditto on May 10th) and will be hosted of course by Elspeth herself.

But I guess more important than all of that is the fact that Elspeth Wright once taught telepathy to children in Hong Kong. Seriously.

We get into the shows, telepathy, Elon Musk and so much more in this episode so sit back and enjoy the show!
