Welcome to Quaracters, where every week a new character (either real or imagined) interviews a funny local Montreal improvisor or comedian regarding the covid pandemic! All discussions are 100% improvised and revolve around some aspect of quarantine and how to cope better during these difficult times.
Special guests have included John Lennon (of British pop band 'The Beatles'), Ernesto 'Che' Guevara, the 23rd Prime Minister of Canada - Justin Trudeau, and the Marquis de Sade!
This is a very special ONE-AND-DONE CHRISTMAS CHEER episode of Quaracters to provide the gift of laughter this holiday season. In another BTS audio gala that you are invited you, highly successful post-modern comedy podcast guys Ian Astorquiza (Quaracters) and Stefan Spec (Some Good Friends) sit down and chew the holiday cud with Mr. Improv Boy himself James McGee (At Home with James), and get to yak bakin' all about the holly daze season, where they find themselves of Santa's Naughty, Nice, and Nasty list, and of course get in a round of listener mail for their handsome and patient guest, not unlike the big red man himself getting a large mailbag delivered and read aloud by some nice and good and successful elves to him. It's ALL HERE, so happy holidays to one and all!

At Home with James is where the Heart is (brought to you by A&W's Teen Burger)
hello comedy fans!
Firstly, thank you so much for your support over the past 15(?!?) months, however it manifested itself. This show has been a very fun and very real way for me to satiate some creative urges, while in quarantine with theatres closed all over town. So thanks again for any love you've shown :)
On this special finale of QUARACTERS, the masks finally come off! No characters in quarantine on this one! Stefan Spec (host of the very funny Some Good Friends) joins myself to provide a brief backstage look at what we've been up to in real life outside of our podcasts this pandemic, before inviting the incredibly talented James McGee (host of 'At Home with James' which both inspired me to come up with my own "thing", but also provided some quality laughs and 200+ episodes of content during this difficult time), and giving him helpful tips on how to retool his show to achieve even greater success.
That's all for now folks! Enjoy your summer wherever you are, goodbye for now, take care, and BE NICE to each other.
