9to5.cc Podcasts: Including Go Plug Yourself (GPYS) & 9to5 Entertainment System (9ES)

In case you haven’t heard the co-founder of Go Plug Yourself Mister Walter J. Lyng himself is headlining the Comedy Nest for the first time ever this Sunday June 28th at 8 pm, he’s also turning 40! To celebrate we bought a train ticket for the one and only Inés Anaya to come back to Montreal to help celebrate this historic confluence of events. We also paid for Troy Stark’s travel arrangements to come to Grumpy’s all the way from NDG. We did neither of these things. The four of us got together to catch up, talk about Walter’s 20 years of comedy and of course Taskmaster. Head to ComedyNest.com to get your tickets to On Da Clock Presents Walter Lyng this Sunday, June 28th and Go Plug Yourself. Enjoy the show!

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 Walter J. Lyng is a stand-up comedian based out of Montreal, you should follow him on Twitter @wallygoodtimes and on Facebook: Walter J. Lyng Troy Stark is yet another amazing Montreal comedian and promoter who indulges me in co-hosting this wonderful little show of ours. You can catch him pretty often at the World’s Smallest Comedy Night and Cheap Laughs at Rustik Pub, both of which he produces. The post GPYS 338: Walter J.

Osheaga 2026 is 42 days away! Our Unofficial Osheaga Podcast is back for 2026! We’re into June already and that means it’s time to take a look at Saturday’s lineup (More or less) every two weeks Sarah and I have been digging into the entire lineup of this year’s Osheaga to give you music recommendations all summer long. We pick ten acts from each day, we talk about them, play clips of their tunes to give you a feel for their music and tell you why we think they’re worth checking. As always we’ll be listening to music and talking about some of our favorite acts all summer long. If you’re like us you might have heard of some of the bigger acts headlining each day of the festival but it’s hard to be familiar with the entire lineup. We’re here to make discoveries and let you know about some of the acts a little further down the lineup. So (for the purposes of this show) we ruled out the entire top line of each day of the lineup. Trust us, if you listen to all of these episodes you might find yourself running back and forth between stages all weekend and discovering your new favourite artists. Here is our second batch of 5 “non-headline” acts we think are worth checking out for Saturday: PARTYOF2 – PUNKB!TCH it’s murph, Khalid – Here With Me Now AJ Tracey – Baja Blast Kingfishr – The Blade Little Simz – That’s a No No See You at Osheaga! Osheaga runs from July 31st to August 2nd at Parc Jean Drapeau. Check out osheaga.com for more info and tickets.

The Montreal arts & entertainment podcast that asks Carmina Berbari Daou & Raquel Maestre of the Montreal Indie Comedy Collective: “If you could party on any planet, real or fictional, what would it be?” Then we ask: “Ass or titties?” (thanks for that Shosho). Those questions came to us from Serag and Shosho back in our last episode (hot top: you can still buy tickets for their show on February 28th). Welcome to a brand new episode of the Go Plug Yourself Podcast – this week we welcome Carmina Barbari Daou and Raquel Maestre from the Montreal Indie Comedy Collective to talk about all of the joys of producing comedy shows in Montreal, how they got started, how they work together and so much more. They host monthlies like Thursday Stand-Up? Cool! and Queer Laughs and they are also producing a bunch of other shows too! Sarah jumps on for this episode and honestly we don’t talk enough about the fact that Carmina found a perfect used copy of Travel Scrabble. For a minute there was a very real chance this podcast was just going to be the four of us playing Scrabble. Do yourself a favour and check out their LinkTree, Instagram and Facebook pages to stay up to date on everything they’ve got coming up!

The Montreal arts & entertainment podcast that asks comedians Shosho Abotouk & Serag Meletian: “What’s your favorite breakfast cereal both now and as a kid?” That question asked, as always, by our previous guest Nazeer Khan. You may remember that we had Shosho on the show a few months ago to talk about the runaway success story of merging comedy with crochet. Well, she’s at it again and this time she’s got our own Walter J. Lyng and longtime friend of the show Serag Meletian bringing the laughs as The Crochet & Comedy show takes over historic Café Cleopatra for The Yarn Ball on February 28th. There will even be prizes! Things go off the rails as they so often do and we end up talking with Shosho and Serag about Devon Sawa, telegrams, payphones and Bad Bunny. What else did you expect? We’re back at Grumpy’s for this one and fully embody the spirit of the chaotic safespace that is this wacky little podcast. Remember to subscribe and tell your friends on Tiktok and Instagram or whatever it is you kids do these days when you like something. Oh yeah – Chris Venditto shows up at the end of the show too! Get your tickets to the Yarn Ball on February 28th, enjoy the show, and Go Plug Yourself.
