GPYS 296: Amy Blackmore & Kenny Streule

Go Plug Yourself - Montreal - 9to5 (dot cc)

The Montreal arts & entertainment podcast that asks Amy Blackmore and Kenny Streule from the Montreal Fringe Festival: What is it that makes you want to do one project over another? That question asked by our previous guest Boum (the comic book artist and creator of The Jellyfish) back in episode 295.

We’ve spoken a lot on this show about the loss of one our city’s wonderful festivals, but now it’s time to celebrate one of the festivals that we can still be proud of: The Montreal Fringe Festival.

Longtime listeners of the show know that I’ve been a fan of the Montreal Fringe Festival since high-school and “since high-school” has gotten progressively further and further away (somewhere to the tune of 24 years ago but who’s counting?).

It’s one of Sarah’s and my favourite festivals and we love to kick summer off with the joy of independent theatre that ranges from improv to clowns to dance to puppets and so much more. And guess what? We talk about all that stuff with none other than Amy Blackmore and Kenny Streule who, as far as I understand it, are Montreal Fringe Overlords. We talk about some of our favourite shows from Fringes gone by and look ahead to some of the shows that might catch our attention this year.

So sit back, relax, and get ready to Fringe! The Montreal Fringe kicks off with the Fringe For All on May 27 and shows start as of May 29th – tickets are already on sale y’all!
