GPYS 335: Troy Story 40

Ever since Troy Stark came back to Montreal a few years ago he’s been an important part of the Montreal comedy scene. Not only performing, but also producing some of the best local comedy events this city has to offer. So when the opportunity came up to have some of Montreal’s funniest folks gather together and celebrate Troy turning 40 on Go Plug Yourself we had to take it. Erik Intrevado, Daniel Carin and Sarah Warren join Chris Venditto, Walter J. Lyng and I to celebrate all things Troy Stark. He’s read 10 books this year already!

What ensues is obviously something akin to our annual Shit Shows but hey, isn’t that part of the fun?

We’ve got stories of concealed weapons, alcohol on planes, smuggling drugs across state lines and getting tossed into the back of a cop car because someone was playing with a toy gun while wearing a trench coat in the 1990s. If this is our last episode it’s because we’re all now in jail.

Also I was going to use AI to generate an episode image of Troy as a Toy Story character but then Mike Carrozza would yell at me. So you get this instead:

Troy Stark Returns – GPYS 266

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.

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.

Troy Stark & Shirley Whalen: GPYS 139

Posted In: Go Plug Yourself, Podcast, Podcasting

Troy Stark and Shirley Whalen have never been on the podcast before so we thought it was high time to have both of them on at the same time. Why make you wait for two episodes when we can just double your fun for the price of free? Both Shirley and Troy are all over the place and you should obviously go check out whatever show they’re featured on, but in the mean time you should probably check out Troy’s recurring comedy night “The Nerdy Show” on September 22nd (where the theme is Batman, which also kind of becomes the theme of this episode) and check out Shirley on the forthcoming Crimson Wave comedy album about period jokes.

Also, I’ve mystyped Shirley’s name as “Sheila” a bunch of times, I desperately hope I don’t accidentally call her “Sheila” at some point in this podcast. If I do: I am so sorry.
