Amanda McQueen – GPYS 273

by on March 1, 2023 at 6:08 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks comedian Amanda McQueen: “What’s the most interesting place you’ve had sex?” – asked by our last guest Pat Hickey back in episode 272.

If you’ve never had the chance to hear Amanda McQueen perform standup then you’ve just run out of excuses. That’s right, Amanda has released a brand new comedy album called “A Hot Dog in Every Pocket” and it’s available literally everywhere.

You might notice that the energy levels of this episode are maybe a smidge lower than normal – that’s because I had an extremely long day at work and both Inés and Amanda were recovering from binging both seasons of White Lotus. They also got sick. So the whole tone of this episode is very low-key and cozy. It’s kind of the perfect late February episode. I would suggest making yourself a cup of tea and curling up with a blanket before you listen to 3 low-energy people talk about TV shows and walking around with your pants around your ankles.

Seriously though, you can get this album EVERYWHERE – just check out Amanda’s hotdog-tree.

The Adoption (Eve Parker Finley, Nicky Fournier & Amanda McQueen) – GPYS 257

by on June 9, 2022 at 6:45 am
Posted In: Fringe, Go Plug Yourself, Montreal, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks the cast of “The Adoption”: What’s a story of you being romantically rejected? That question submitted by fellow Montreal Fringe performer Leighland Beckman back in episode 256.

The St-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival is in full effect with A-Z programming starting TODAY! The Fringe Park is open, shows are happening live and in person and it is really starting to feel like festival season is finally back in Montreal after 2 long years of being (somewhat) muted by that pesky global pandemic.

One of the hottest tickets at this year’s show is shaping up to be none other than “The Adoption” and we are beyond excited to welcome all three stars to Go Plug Yourself to talk about their upcoming Fringe show. Eve Parker Finley, Nicky Fournier and Amanda McQueen were all gracious enough to join Inés and I at the back of Grumpy’s to take a meandering walk through failed romantic endeavors, fruity pebbles, celebrity crushes and everything in between.

And I meant what I said about “The Adoption” being a hot ticket, the show is already approaching sell-outs on multiple nights so go to MontrealFringe.ca and get your tickets now.

About “The Adoption”

The Adoption is the story of a young person who chooses to become a solo parent to an adopted child – a decision that ripples through their chosen family circle. This play is a short comedy that highlights rituals of belonging, gender-neutral parenting and the dynamic of self-determination and community interdependence.

Playwright & Director: Mael F. Cheff

Poster/Stage/Props Design: Felix Felgo

Actors: Nicky Fournier, Eve Parker Finley & Amanda McQueen

Enjoy the podcast, then buy your tickets and enjoy The Adoption (and a bunch of other Fringe shows obviously).

Francois Vigneault (TITAN, Orcs in Space) – GPYS 244

by on November 12, 2021 at 2:05 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks comic creator Francois Vigneault: How well do you sleep? That question asked by Seth Galina back in episode 243.

We’ve always loved comics here at Go Plug Yourself. In fact, comic artist Yanick Paquette was on our 6th episode ever to talk about Swamp Thing an incredible 10 years ago. And I’ve had a special place in my heart for indie comics since I was in high-school. So it was that I was tremendously excited to book Francois Vigneault on the show.

Francois Vigneault is the incredibly talented artist, writer and creator responsible for TITAN and is the artist for Orcs In Space (created by Justin Roiland, along with writers Michael Tanner, Rashad Gheith and Abed Gheith). We talk about how Francois developed as an artist, where music fits into his art and the differences between working on your own creations versus more collaborative work.

Inés Anaya steps up as co-host for this episode and fully endures a long chat about comic books like a pro.

Check out everything that Francois has going on over at his official website and if you are in Montreal Francois will be at Librairie Z (3420 Ontario East) tomorrow November 13th from 2 to 4 pm.

Also we once again recorded this episode from Grumpy’s so hey, things are finally getting back to normal.

Enjoy the show!

GPYS 241 – The Return To Grumpy’s!

by on September 30, 2021 at 3:20 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

So the last time we recorded an episode in the back of Grumpy’s bar was probably March 2nd, 2020. It was episode 202 with BOIDS. That was over 570 days ago.

That’s madness.

But all the same it felt tremendously special to be back at the back of Grumpy’s recording a podcast after a year and half of not doing it. So special in fact that we decided we didn’t want to overshadow the importance of the bar with a traditional “guest”, instead calling on none other than Walter J. Lyng to jump on this episode. Walter of course having recorded more episodes in the back of Grumpy’s with me than anyone else.

Also, I was right (well, I was wrong and then I was right) when I said we did an episode at about 1:00 am in the back of Grumpy’s. It was episode 42 with Mo Arora.

Anyhow, sit back, relax and enjoy the sounds of a podcast being recorded at the back of a bar, the way it was always intended.

Alexis Diamond – 2020 Governor General’s Literary Award Finalist (GPYS 233)

by on May 26, 2021 at 3:18 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks Alexis Diamond: “Where can you find the best ice cream in Montreal?” (asked by Montreal guitarist Pierre-Luc Rioux in episode 232).

Alexis Diamond is bringing a definite air of class to Go Plug Yourself this week. After all, it’s not every day you speak to someone nominated for a Governor General’s Literary Award. I suppose it’s not every day that you speak to someone who can honestly refer to themselves as an opera librettist either. Nominated in the category of translation for her work translating Pascal Brullemans’ Amaryllis & Little Witch, a set of two dark fairy tales celebrating strong young female characters.

I’ve always been fascinated by the art of translation. If you want to give yourself just a taste how much translations can vary from one to another, check out the variations of the “proemic verse” column of the translations of Homer’s Illiad and Odyssey to see how different the same original text can be interpreted.

Yeah, it’s that kind of podcast this week.

Inés joins me on this one as we sit down with Alexis Diamond to talk about her work, her nomination for the GGBooks award, xxxx

GPYS 231: Kayla de Leon & Tyler Lemco (11:11 Make a Wish Podcast)

by on April 29, 2021 at 6:25 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks the host of “11:11 Make a Wish” Kayla de Leon and Tyler Lemco: If you were a spicy mayonnaise, what would you be? (Asked by Amy Blackmore back in episode 229).

Tyler Lemco and Kayla De Leon are two of the funniest people in Montreal. So it’s only fitting that they now have a podcast together. It’s called “11:11 Make a Wish” and you guessed it, they have guests on and talk about wishes. Check them out on Instagram @makeawishpodcast and get all the hot links on their LinkTree.

We talk about Big Brother Canada, jury duty, running for mayor and Tyler provides one of the grossest answers to one of our 5 Questions.

Oh, it’s also the annual Cult MTL “Best of Montreal” readers poll right now and we would really appreciate it if you would kindly head over to Cult MTL and vote for Go Plug Yourself as your favorite Montreal podcast.

Enjoy the show!

Montreal Improv – Vance Gillis – GPYS 224

by on January 21, 2021 at 6:23 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Montreal Improv is alive and well! Well, it is alive, and with the help and support of all of us it will be well. Vance Gillis joins us on the latest episode of Go Plug Yourself to answer the question: “What object in your life brings you a strong memory, good or bad?” (as asked by Kenny Streule in the last episode).

As was mentioned a few times on this very podcast the great city of Montreal had lost Montreal Improv over the course of the pandemic, however, as Vance Gillis will happily inform you when you listen to this episode: the reports of the death of Montreal Improve have been greatly exaggerated.

Thanks to a new owner the Montreal Improv has returned to the city and everyone else on the planet for that matter since they’re online now! Happy day!

While Vance assures us that a physical venue is definitely in the future, right now you should head over to MontrealImprov.com and see what kinds of shows, classes and other content they will be bringing to you right now, on the internet. Courses are available at all levels now and online shows will be starting in the next month.

Also: Inés has returned to co-host this episode!

Don’t call it a comeback!

Go Quarantine Yourself 2 (aka GPYS 204)

by on April 2, 2020 at 6:31 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Hey, remember back in Go Plug Yourself Episode 200 where I said “thank goodness Lawrence wasn’t on the cruise with the COVID-19” outbreak and we all laughed it off?

Those were the days.

So, in light of our current state of lockdown we thought we would mix it up a little bit by continuing the transformation of Go Plug Yourself into Go Quarantine Yourself and in the spirit of isolation we will be isolating ourselves from our guests. For the next few episodes we’re going to get to know our new co-hosts a little better.

To officially kick things off (despite this being Episode 2 of this little sideshow) Inés, Lawrence and Chris have all brought lists of their favorite comedians and all time greats. They talk a little about how these performers got them into comedy, why they’re so good and some of their favorite performances.

So download the episode, press play, and pretend we just invaded your home to have a long conversation about comedy while we ignore you.

Chris Venditto is another funny person in Montreal who you can see all over the place and if you don’t want to miss him take the stage you should follow him on all the socials. He’s @chrisvenditto on Twitter and Instagram so you should follow him on those two things. He also produces shows with the guys at Perfect Bite Productions who you should also follow on Instagram and on Facebook.

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.
