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.</p><p>Head to <a href=\"https://comedynest.com/blog/walter-lyng-sunday-june-28th-2026-2/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">ComedyNest.com to get your tickets to On Da Clock Presents Walter Lyng this Sunday</a>, June 28th and Go Plug Yourself.</p><p>Enjoy the show!</p><p><a href=\"http://9to5.cc/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/GPYS-A-Celebration-of-Walter.jpg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><img src=\"http://9to5.cc/wp-content/uploads/2026/06/GPYS-A-Celebration-of-Walter.jpg\"></a></p><h1>Credit Where Credit is Due</h1><p>As always, a big thank you to the providers of our theme song: <a href=\"http://leighlandbeckman.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Leighland Beckman and Aural Turpitude</a>!</p><p><em>Keith does all sorts of things here on 9to5.cc, he works with the other founders on </em><a href=\"http://9to5.cc/?latestblogpost\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>9to5 (illustrated)</em></a><em>, co-hosts our two podcasts: The </em><a href=\"http://9to5.cc/9es\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>9to5 Entertainment System</em></a><em> and </em><a href=\"http://9to5.cc/gpys\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Go Plug Yourself</em></a><em> and sometimes blogs here as </em><a href=\"http://9to5.cc/category/perspicacious-geek/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"><em>The Perspicacious Geek</em></a><em>.</em></p><p><em>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.
