Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

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!

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!

Go Plug Yourself Episode 100!

by on February 11, 2016 at 10:10 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

More than 4 years ago sitting in Girouard park with Sarah, Raz and Walter I turned to Walter and was like “we should do a podcast, it will be easy.” He was like “ok.” A few weeks later I was like “ok, I bought mics and stuff when are we doing this?” and he was like “oh, you were being serious?” Anyhow, 4 years and 100 episodes later (not counting our infamous “non-canon” Just For Laughs, Fringe and New Year’s $#!% Shows) we’re still at it. We pulled out all the stops (there really weren’t that many stops) for our 100th episode, we took the show live for the first time ever at ComedyWorks, we got Leighland Beckman to play our song live, we got Mike Paterson to tell weird stories about Walter, we got live music from Nick Raz, live poetry and soundscape from Mike Carrozza and delicious pizza from Sapori di Napoli from Guido Grasso. Here’s to another 100!GPYS100

There are so many plugs on this episode you guys it’s hard to keep track. Let’s try to get to the big ones:

Mike Paterson’s documentary about medical marijuana “Grass Fed” available on iTunes.
Mike Paterson’s billingual comedy night Wednesday’s at Don B Comber “Unleash TA BÊTE”
Leighland’s upcoming Dirty Show February 19th at Comedyworks, tickets here.
Mike Carrozza’s upcoming episode of Mike Carrozza Knows Everybody! on February 20th and his Fringe show this summer (details on his official website).
If you liked “Opposite Day” from Nick Raz, you should check his performance solo acapella harmonizing awesomeness of “The Sea Monster’s Bath” and seriously book him for children’s events.
Finally, for the absolute best pizza in Montreal you should go to Sapori di Napoli and also pay attention to Guido’s official page for his next run of comedy shows, whenever that may be.

Go Plug Yourself 87: G. Hamilton Braithwaite and Morgan O’Shea (Mount Royal Rumble)

So, Stephen Spinola has been bugging us to have him on the show recently, so in response, we decided to have two of the very funny comics that will be appearing alongside Stevie at the Mount Royal Rumble, representing the Pro-Comedy (George) and the Semi-Pro (Morgan) these two comics will square off in the most evenly judged comedy event of the century. It is all very serious. We talk politics, current events, comedy shows you can’t go to anymore and a whole lot of other shit. Enjoy the show kids.gpys87

Go Plug JFL: Mike Paterson and Stephen Trepanier

by on July 26, 2014 at 9:17 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Homepage, Just for Laughs, Montreal, Podcasting

Mike P saw us recording podcasts and he cannot possibly see us without grabbing a microphone and just hi-jacking the whole thing. We welcome it. Stephen Trepanier is clearly insulted by Mike’s invasion of the show and also maybe baffled that most of this episode is actually a build up to BATTLEWAR this Sunday at Foufs and not so much about Just for Laughs at all. Oh sure, Mike manages to talk about his comedy shows a little but he seemed much more intent on talking trash about Twiggy and Frankie the Mobster. Enjoy the show!JFL2014EP3

Here it is folks, the one you’ve been waiting for! The 50th Episode that we strangely delayed to increase hype! Mike P sits down with us once again and we’re joined by a few drop ins. Monika from The Comedy Wives shows up with a veggie burger for Mike and then stuff happens! Our theme song creator Leighland also swings by the world’s most sincere failed attempt at beatboxing! It has really been worth the over 2 year wait for this episode people, I promise you.gpys50

Go Plug Yourself 20: Massimo and Mike P (Guys and Dolls)

We’re getting busy in the arts up here! What? I said the arts up in here! What!

Massimo and Mike P comin’ at ya with the arts up in here! Come on!

So, The Segal Centre is currently in production of Guys and Dolls and we decided it would be a good idea to get two members of the excellent cast to come on our show. Of course, they were busy so we got Massimo and Mike P. Seriously though, how we continually manage to snag guests of this caliber is starting to scare me. Both of these guys are angry beasts in the local comedy scene and we actually got them to sit down at the same time on the same show… with each other (ending the 10 year feud that’s been brewing between them in the process). Wow, this is a rambling intro isn’t it? Listen, both these guys are hilarious, this podcast is a fucking riot and if you’re still reading this you’re just cutting into your own fun times.

Seriously though, you can catch both of these guys on a bunch of stages all over the island doing stand-up OR you can catch them both showing off their more theatrical side at the current production of Guys and Dolls over at the Segal Centre.

Guys and Dolls goes in previews Sunday until Oct. 10 at the Segal Centre, 5170 Côte Ste. Catherine Rd. The official run is from Oct. 11 to 28. Tickets: www.segalcentre.org or 514-739-7944.

This was supposed to be our Valentine’s Day episode, but then, shit got real.  Now, a week later, we share it with you. It’s a good thing Mike hosts a weekly comedy event since the Valentine’s Day special show that he talks about is now in the past. We’re shaking the rust off here people. If you haven’t guessed by his name in the title, joining us on this episode is Mr. Gross himself: Mike Paterson! (He played Mr. Gross on Edible Incredible on CBC guys, I wasn’t just being super insulting).
