The Montreal arts and entertainment podcast that asks co-creator of the Montreal Crochet Club Shosho Abotouk: “What is your favourite niche soda?” That question asked in episode 315 by the wonderful James McGee. Sorry James, Shosho didn’t grow up with RC Cola so she has no fond memories of that slice of Canadiana.
Our guest this week is none other than Shosho Abotouk who runs an amazing night of comedy that combines crochet, knitting and comedy. For more info on the next event check out Montreal Crochet Club on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and basically every where else too. Shosho joined Walter, Troy and I at Grumpy’s to talk about combining your passions, the difference between crocheting and knitting and how hard it is to get a learner’s permit in Montreal. If you’re looking for a fun night of comedy where you can also bring your knitting and not get dirty looks from everyone around you then look no further, you’ve found your people.
Oh and during this episode that obviously focuses a lot on crocheting and knitting we do talk about Walter’s sister Katia who is also extremely talented, do yourself a favour and check out Katia’s page on Facebook as well at “Season of the Stitch”.
Enjoy the show and Go Plug Yourself.
