Leighland Beckman Returns! – GPYS 256

by on May 26, 2022 at 2:20 pm
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal arts and entertainment that asks comedian and musician Leighland Beckman: “If a group of crows is a murder, what is a group of you called?” Asked by Elspeth Wright back in episode 254.

Listeners of Go Plug Yourself already know who Leighland Beckman is, he has been sensually serenading you with our theme song for nearly a decade.

So we’re super happy to have him on the show to promote his upcoming Fringe show/album launch. Leighland has laid down a full length album with a complete backing band full of the dirtiest songs you will ever hear. To celebrate the release of “Aural Turpitude” Leighland is bringing “An Evening With Leighland Beckman” to the 2022 edition of the Saint-Ambroise Montreal Fringe Festival. Opening night is June 10th so get your tickets now. June 10th is also the release of the album which you can buy physical copies of at the show OR get on digital through leighlandbeckman.com.

Oh, Leighland also has the distinction of being the first recipient of three brand new questions that we decided on back in episode 255. Just another feather in his cap that just might tip the scales towards him receiving the Montreal Fringe Lifetime Achievement Award this year.

Also, we recorded this episode outside on Walter’s balcony so sometimes you might hear: garbage trucks, a hedge trimmer or something and crows.

Enjoy the show!

Walter J. Lyng – Knife Fight X – GPYS 234

by on June 10, 2021 at 7:13 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that will forever and always hold Walter J. Lyng near and dear to its heart returns! Just like live shows!

It was 10 years ago in 2011 that Walter first brought Pitching Knife Fight to the Montreal Fringe Festival, and I don’t think it’s a coincidence that later that same summer he would decide to start a podcast with me. I’m not sure exactly what the connection is or was but I’m sure it’s there.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of that momentous show Walter is bring “KNIFE FIGHT X” back to the Fringe. Is it a remount of Pitching Knife Fight? No. Is it Night Fight? Also no. It’s something in between and better baby! I mean, probably. I haven’t seen it.

To help Walter properly usher in this feat of one-man showmanship (featuring a number of other people) we need all the hosts, so that means that Lawrence, Inés and Chris are around to host this thing we’re still calling a podcast.

In the spirit of live theater I have not edited out some of the technical difficulties in this episode. Seriously, it’s in the spirit of live theater and not laziness I promise.

Get your tickets to KNIFE FIGHT X right here, right now.  The show opens this Saturday June 12!

Enjoy the show!

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.

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

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.

Amy Blackmore and the Return of Live Theater (Hopefully) – GPYS 229

by on April 1, 2021 at 7:31 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Amy Blackmore joins the Montreal podcast that asks the question: “Who have you thought about recently from your past that you realized you had forgotten about?” (asked by Tim Riel back in episode 227).

Amy Blackmore has had a hell of year.

We’ve all had a hell of year but Amy’s might have taken the cake.

From having Mainline Theater shut down due to the pandemic (followed rapidly by the cancellation of any live and in person Fringe shows) to overcoming a string of personal issues let me just say that the fact the she is going full steam ahead right now is absolute craziness.

But, dwelling on the negative is for suckers and Amy Blackmore is no sucker. Amy also comes up with probably the most succinct answers ever to Question 3.

So it is that we welcome Amy back to the show to talk about the very imminent (hopefully) return of live theater, staying positive as we approach the finish line to all this shit and more. Things are finally getting close to being back to normal, let’s stay safe, do the thing and hopefully in 6 months this will all start fading into a distant memory. Let’s go.

Enjoy the show!

The Peers (Kate Hammer & Rahul Gandhi) – GPYS 185

by on June 27, 2019 at 6:51 am
Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Montreal, Podcast, Podcasting

The Montreal podcast that asks The Peers: What is your favorite biopic? (Because Tranna Wintour wanted to know).

Two of The Peers (Rahul & Kate) join Walter and Keith… wait… that’s not Walter! That’s Sarah! That’s right, my wife stepped in for this episode of Go Plug Yourself!

Rahul and Kate talk about the television show Lost, how Shakespeare is everywhere and also just maybe having sex with a fire alien. The Peers will be bringing their rapid fire take on all (that’s right, ALL) of The Bard’s works at Toronto Fringe starting next week, so if you’re in Toronto, be sure to check them out.  Opening night is July 3rd at 9:30 pm at Annex Theatre, 730 Bathurst Street, Toronto.   Tickets and more showtimes here.

Also, how great is it that Rahul and Kate happened to be standing with each other in their promotional material? Worked out great for me anyways. Enjoy the show!

2019 St-Ambroise Montreal FRINGE Festival!

by on June 2, 2019 at 4:48 pm
Posted In: Featured Post, Fringe, Montreal

Hey everyone! The 29th Edition of the St-Ambroise Montreal FRINGE Festival is almost here, and to celebrate we’ve got a couple podcasts that you should probably listen to.

To quote the incomparable Amy Blackmore:

With 800+ performances by 500+ artists from across the globe, fringing is a festive adventure full of surprises. Over 60 000 festival-goers celebrate diversity, accessibility and artistic freedom with us annually.

Fringing for the first time? I recommend you purchase a 3-show pass. Pick a sure bet, a recommended performance and a show at random! Don’t forget, Canadian FRINGE festivals are open-access and uncensored events with affordable ticket prices for all. And artists keep 100% of their box office!

 

Check out these podcasts:

  • Go Fringe Yourself 2019 – IS THAT HOW CLOWNS KEEP YOU UP ALL NIGHT?

    Fringe Festival veteran Fiona Ross is proud to bring Ms. Bea Haven back to the Montreal Fringe Festival in the followup to last year’s “Is That How Clowns Have Sex?”. This time around the sex-educational clown has decided that she should have her own talk show because of course she should!

    Fiona talks about her latest show right here, right now.

  • Go Fringe Yourself 2019 – EDGING WITH MIKE

    Mike O’Brien may just have the strangest road to a second Fringe production ever: A genre wrestling piece that won Spirt of the Fringe last year prompted him to create a highly education show about the science of metallurgy and the sharpness of knives.

    Just more proof that there is something for everyone at the Fringe.

  • Go Fringe Yourself 2019 – SILENCE

    Stéfan Cédilot & Kathleen Aubert have become somewhat known in the Montreal theater scene for their use of dynamic soundtracks in their works. This year, they shake things up quite a bit by producing two shows that are not just devoid of soundtracks, but are also nearly completely silent.

    (Silence.) is two short plays, each telling its own story and exploring different facets of silence : what it says, what it shows, and what it hides.

  • Go Fringe Yourself 2019 – COLLISION

    Tiera Joly Pavelich suffered multiple concussions in the span of a few short years as a dancer. Somehow, she has taken that experience and used it as fuel to create something amazing. Working as a choreographer, Tiera has guided Gabriela Guerra Woo through her experiences in interpretive dance and movement.

    Sarah plans on watching this and crying quietly throughout.
