As occasionally happens when you’ve been podcasting for over a decade – sometimes a guest drops off the face of the planet (or the island of Montreal) and you’re left on a Wednesday night before a long weekend without a new episode of Go Plug Yourself.

Fortunately though we’ve got over 300 episodes in our back catalogue that we can dig up and re-share with you.

So we’re setting the clock back to 2018 for our 150th episode which was a live recording at the legendary Mainline Theater! Enjoy!

Mainline Rocky Horror (Kenny Streule & Cat Preston) – GPYS 286

by on October 11, 2023 at 10:29 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks Cat Preston and Kenny Streule (from Mainline Presents Richard O’Briens The Rocky Horror Show): “What’s the worst you’ve ever had to hold it? How did it end?” That thought provoking question provided by Andrina Learmonth back in episode 285.

We’ve had various stars of various versions of Rocky Horror on the show over the years which is a true testament to the staying power of what is openly one of the most bizarre little slices of pop-culture that there is.

As we talk about in the show, if you pitched Rocky Horror to almost anyone you would probably be laughed out of whatever room you were in. It sounds like an overly ambitious fever dream that would be lucky to find even the smallest of cult audiences. And yet, 50 years after it debuted on stage The Rocky Horror show is still delighting audiences with both its film and stage versions.

So much so that even with an incredible 8 dates – the Mainline production of Rocky Horror is very nearly sold out already! As Kenny says in the episode though there is a small chance that more tickets might be made available. Your best bet is probably to stay tuned to Mainline’s Facebook and the social media platform formerly known as Twitter if you want to get the jump on any last minute ticket availabilities!

In the meantime, enjoy the episode as you shiver in antici…

Kenny Streule – Go Plug Yourself 223

by on January 7, 2021 at 6:30 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks Kenny Streule: What was your worst experience with the media? (Asked by Simon and Pascal from Total Crap back in Go Plug Yourself 222).

Back in the beginning of 2020 (which might have occurred either last week or in another lifetime, I’m not sure) Kenny Streule put together a very popular run of a one man show called “Malunderstood” at Montreal’s Mainline Theatre. Fast forward to a little later in the year and all of a sudden the way all of us were consuming live art was very, very different.

So Kenny did what many other artists did: he adapted himself and his art into a format that could be enjoyed from the comforts of self-isolation.

And so Kenny Streule’s Malunderstood: A Virtual Performance Experience was born. A digital adaptation of selected sequences from the live show, “Malunderstood” is a glimpse of Kenny’s childhood and his relationship with his Swiss German grandmother, language and the small town he grew up in.

Head to kennystreule.ca for details on how you can watch Malunderstood in the comfort of your own home for a limited time on a “Pay What You Decide” basis. The show will only be online for as long as the current Montreal lockdown is in effect so make sure you check it out sooner than later.

Go Plug Yourself 69: Amy Blackmore

So Walter and Amy Blackmore have a rather tricky history. If you’ve attended any of the Night Fight’s (or subsequent Brunch Fights) you know that for some reason, Walter is under the belief that Amy Blackmore is trying to “keep him down”. I’m not entirely sure where he got that idea from, but in effort to try to smooth out relations between himself and Amy he managed to convince her to sit down and talk with us for an hour. Amy was a great host, letting us into her office at the back (middle?) of Mainline Theater on the Main. Amy talks about romance, dance and upcoming shows at the Mainline. Enjoy the show!gpys69-amyblackmore (1)

Go Plug Yourself 58: Shane Adamczak

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Our longtime faithful listeners (all two of you, thanks mom) will remember way back in 2012 that we had Shane on a special Fringe episode of our little show called Go Fringe Yourself. Well, it took us nearly two years for us to finally get around to having Shane join the canon episodes but by jove we did it. Unfortunately, I have no idea what the fuck was up with my mic so I sound like shit. I blame the fact that I have been working on our audio setup relentlessly for the past few weeks and the stuff of audio software is a fickle mistress indeed.shanegpys

Go Plug Yourself 57: Kyle Allatt Part 4: The Reckoning

by on May 1, 2014 at 7:40 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

So it seems that Kyle found out Mike Paterson joined him as a threepeat guest and he wanted to get the upperhand once again (it’s a fun little rivalry between the two of them, sort of like frequent SNL hosts). Even though Mike P has the distinction of all 3 of his episodes being in official GPYS canon and Kyle has to deal with the fact that two of his appearances are Fringe specials, Kyle wanted this fourth appearance. Oh yes, he also has a show to plug. He’s remounting The No Bullshit History of Canada that runs from today (Thursday) to Saturday 8:00 pm at Mainline (tickets at the door I’m guessing?). He also has a pile of shows this summer all across Canada. Enjoy the show people.kylegpys57
