GPYS 320: Julie Santini

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Welcome to a brand new episode of Go Plug Yourself! Montreal’s best podcast if you ask me.

On this week’s episode Lawrence Corber and I are joined by actor, comedian, improviser and all around rule follower Julie Santini. We asked her Pat Guay’s question from a few episodes ago: What annoys you most in your day-to-day life?

Julie Santini is one of Montreal’s exciting up and coming multidisciplinary talents. Having acted and improvised before she’s recently taken to the stage alone as a stand up comedy and is currently honing her craft all over town. As always the Go Plug Yourself podcast is there to sit down and get to know the people that make this city an amazing place for artists (despite the best efforts of politicians or whatever, don’t get me started).

We talk about getting into comedy, Christmas pinatas and narrowly avoid a full length recital of the 1996 film Matilda. You can follow Julie on most social media @juliersantini and check her out almost every other Tuesday at Straight Shooters comedy night at Tequila Bar in Saint Henri. Enjoy the show – Go Plug Yourself!

Joe Garque (Under Pressure Graffiti Festival) – GPYS 282

by on August 5, 2023 at 2:08 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal arts and entertainment podcast that asks Joe Garque from the Under Pressure Graffiti Festival: “What is the moment that you felt that Montreal became an international city?” – that question asked by Patrick Guay in Episode 281.

We talk about in the episode but I think the first time I went to Under Pressure was in the early 2000’s back in Dawson (not a coincident that was about the same time that I first met Joe Garque). I was blown away by the vibe – just a bunch of graffiti artists (“writers” as they’re called in the parlance) doing their thing while DJs played music and breakers busted out dance moves that make my knees hurt just thinking about. That block party vibe has been maintained over the course of the last 20 years and as the world celebrates the 50th anniversary of hip-hop so does the Under Pressure Graffiti Festival.

This year Under Pressure will be featuring the “traditional” painting of murals in and around Foufounes Electriques (if you’ve ever wondered why all the art at Foufs is so fresh it’s because Under Pressure gives them a facelift almost every single year) and will feature basketball, dancing and more at the nearby Parc Toussaint Louverture on de Maisonneuve – both sites will feature a bunch of live music celebrating “The Throwback ’73”.  If you’re wondering, the consensus date of the “birth of hip hop” is August 11, 1973 by DJ Kool Herc at his sister’s back-to-school party in the Bronx. It’s a wonderful thing that Under Pressure is nearly 50 years later (plus one day) celebrating all the culture that hip-hop has brought to us in the last 50 years.

Joe Garque talks about that history, the history of the festival, the 5 pillars of hip-hop and much, much more as Lawrence Corber sits in as co-host.

Enjoy the show!

Troy Stark Returns – GPYS 266

by on November 10, 2022 at 6:16 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks the founder of the Montreal Grand Comedy Competition Troy Stark: Leather or lace? And also: What is your favorite horror movie? These questions brought to you by the wonderful and talented people behind The Terrors of Misery’s Grove: Jason Grimmer and Jess Fildes back in episode 265.

Troy Stark is once again award $1000 cold hard Canadian dollars to one of Montreal’s comedians. Over 100 comedians participated but we’re down to the last few rounds of competition. This Sunday November 13th and next Wednesday November 16th at The Diving Bell Social Club are the last two semi-final rounds of competition and then the grand finale will be December 11th featuring all the finalists and none other than our house-band Auril Turpitude! Be sure to keep tabs of #MTLGrand on Facebook on Instagram for updates and make sure to be there in person for when Troy hands some talented comedian a (presumably actually huge) big ole’ check!

Some of you might know Troy Stark from The Nerdy Show and Lawrence Corber is co-hosting this episode with me so… spoilers, it gets pretty nerdy up in this podcast. We talk about Witcher, Dark Souls, Super Meat Boy, comic books, other video games and a bunch of other nerdy shit. You should still listen, but I just thought I would put that out there for you.

Go Quarantine Yourself 2 (aka GPYS 204)

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.

Inés Anaya never stops finding ways to be funny: writing for Hindwing Press, running shows like Stand Up Story Slam and getting on the mic at comedy shows all over the city. The best way to keep track of what she’s up to next is on Instagram @clout__atlas
