LadyFest 2022 w/ Elspeth Wright & Raquel Maestre – GPYS 261

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks some of the producers of LadyFest 2022: Who is your boy band crush? A question asked (of course) by Abby Stonehouse and Michelle Dominique in our last episode.

Elspeth Wright and Raquel Maestre join Chris Venditto and I on this very special episode of Go Plug Yourself where we celebrate the upcoming LadyFest! That’s right, LadyFest is returning for the first time since 2019 celebrating, supporting and inspiring women performing comedy in Montreal! Elspeth and Raquel talk about language in comedy, producing shows and obviously boy bands and pop music.

Stay up to date with all the upcoming shows on the LadyFestMTL Facebook Page and Instagram. LadyFest kicks off September 13th with a special LadyFest edition of Stand-up St-Henri and then runs from the 14th to the 16th at the Diving Bell Social Club.

Be there!

Also – and this is just for me now – on the Facebook page LadyFest keeps posting “MEET OUR CASTS” which is totally reasonable. However, my brain continually registers it as “MEET OUR CATS”. Meow.

Elspeth Wright Returns! – GPYS 254

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!

Elspeth Wright (Battle of Wits) – GPYS 226

by on February 18, 2021 at 11:56 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Elspeth Wright (comedian and host of “Battle of Wits”) joins the Montreal podcast that asks: If the week was 10 days long, would you still only house clean once a week? That question asked by Christian and Matthew from Scorpion Masqué in Episode 225.

Back when the pandemic hit, Elspeth Wright was hosting her own comedy gameshow at The Diving Bell Social Club called “Battle of Wits”. When it became more or less illegal to have shows in front of an audience anymore it seemed like a live gameshow would be a good fit to transition into an online gameshow. And so, “Battle of Wits” went online!

With new episodes on Fridays (for now), Elspeth has played host to the likes of Chris Sandiford, David Pryde, Brad MacDonald, Todd Graham and more. Go Plug Yourself co-hosts pop up every now and then (you can find episodes with Inés, Lawrence and Walter over on Elspeth’s YouTube Channel) as well. This week’s episode (premiering tomorrow!) features Ben Sosa Wright and Tranna Wintour!

Obviously you should do yourself a favor and subscribe on Youtube and follow @battleofwits on Instagram.

And hey, while you’re at it, why don’t you subscribe to Go Plug Yourself on whatever platform you listen to podcasts on, that would be swell.

Lawrence Corber also produces some shows you may have heard of (you should probably check out the next Healthy Living show when you get a chance) and if you’re close with him you can call him Lully. The other way to call him “Lully” is to follow him on his socials. @Lully514 on Instagram.

Ladyfest 2019 (w/ Deirdre Trudeau & Elspeth Wright) – GPYS 191

The Montreal podcast that asks Deirdre and Elspeth from Ladyfest: What is oppressing you or your community, and what are you doing about it?

Hard hitting questions here folks. Just two of the many, many talented people that make up this year’s edition of Ladyfest join Walter and I this week to talk about… you know what? Try to guess. Try to guess what we talk about smart-stuff.  Think long and hard about it.

If you guessed “an erotic novel about a woman getting it on with a bear you are a magic person.

Anyways, we talk about some stuff. We of course talk about the amazing shows that are coming up this weekend as part Ladyfest (check out the official website and their Facebook for those sweet, sweet deets) which you should really, really check out. Celebrate comedy while sticking it to the patriarchy! Or just celebrate comedy. Patriarchy destruction may be a by-product though.

Enjoy the show!
