Aural Turpitude with Leighland Beckman | Smark & Friends #94

by Zak Ralph May 26, 2022

written by Zak Ralph

It’s week two of our @Fringe Montreal Festival celebrations as Montreal’s best theatre fest sneaks up on us, approaching June 9th. Our guest is no stranger to the Fringe, nor to CBC, JFL, and the comedy circuit at large. Leighland Beckman joins Smark & Friends in advance of An Evening With Leighland Beckman, which happens to coincide with Aural Turpitude, his comedy record of raunchy, raunchy music.

Leighland joins us for a watchalong of pro-wrestling proportions, as we enjoy footage courtesy of @Lucha Libre & Laughs out of Denver, Colorado. The match in question features Hoodie Howlett, taking on emerging indie legend and someone who would be right at home at Fringe MTL, the incomparable EFFY!

The Tin Hat Aesthetic with Loose Cannons Theatre Company’s Valérie Boisvert | Smark & Friends #93

by Zak Ralph May 20, 2022

written by Zak Ralph

The Montreal Fringe Festival is one of the many cultural events that make the city of Montreal great, and with the Fringe coming up on the horizon we are welcoming an artist for a wrestling watchalong!

Valérie Boisvert and Loose Cannons, her theatre company alongside recent Dawson College graduates, will be performing Down The Rabbit Hole, a dark comedy exploring the nature of conspiracy and how even the best of us are susceptible to connecting dots that just aren’t there.

With such subject matter, it was only appropriate to share a match featuring west coast wrestling’s own conspiracy theorist. With footage kindly provided by our friends at @Nation Extreme Wrestling, we’re watching one-half of tag team State of Emergency take on the cryptid connoisseur Eli Surge!

Lucha Libre & Laughs Promoter Nick Gossert | Smark & Friends #92

by Zak Ralph May 6, 2022

written by Zak Ralph

f you ever share wrestling with an uninitiated fan, you gotta show them something with highspots, something like a car crash, or something funny, and on today’s episode we lean into the latter! Zak welcomes Lucha Libre & Laughs promoter Nick Gossert to Smark & Friends, and as you might tell about the company’s name, LLL brings together the worlds of wrestling and comedy.

We talk to Nick on how the idea of LLL came to be, times the comedians at commentary got the wrestlers to corpse, and how Nick responds to gatekeepers who say comedy has no place in wrestling. All this and more with Nick as he prepares for two upcoming shows; Day Drinking Demolition on May 22 and Hey Rube, their anniversary show on June 24th!

written by Zak Ralph

He’s back! Making an unprecedented FOURTH appearance on S&F, Zak’s 6-year-old son Buddy returns to the show. Last time, Buddy interviewed Speedball Mike Bailey and picked his brain on martial arts, and with the advice Speedball offered, Buddy now has his yellow belt in Taekwondo. Today, Buddy’s taking part in a straight-forward wrestling watchalong, with footage provided by one of the finest Canadian Wrestling promotions, C*4 Wrestling out of Ottawa! We’re enjoying Fatal 4 Way action between Kevin Blackwood, Kevin Blanchard, Holden Albright, and Flying Frank Milano!
