Tits and Teeth Podcast

It’s a ‘Festive AF’ episode here on Tits and Teeth and we are tickled to be celebrating this magical season with the 'Holiday Cheermeister' himself, Mr. Matt Armet!

We all drink whiskey during this episode to keep our hearts and bellies warm on a cold Canadian winters day! We chat with Mr. Armet about our fun traditions for the holiday season, how taking risks can lead you to new opportunities, and his story of coming out to his family.

Matt has had a illustrious career that includes six seasons at the Stratford Festival (Crazy for You, 42nd Street, Tommy, and A Chorus Line) Some of his other credits are White Christmas (MTC), Miracle on 34th Street (The Grand Theatre), and Hairspray and Holiday Inn (Drayton Entertainment)

Come hang with us, grab a drink (if you’re not driving) and get your weekly fix of musical theatre banter with beverages...Holiday style!

This week on Tits and Teeth we are doing something a little different! We had so much amazing content from our guest last week, Nicko Giannakos, that we didn’t even get to talking about his side hustle, Glitz Entertainment, so we are doing a collaboration of sorts. This episode will centre around a different aspect of the performance industry, the entertainment and industrial side!

You will hear from Nicko, but you will also hear from Elisa who is one of the co-directors of A2D2 - Arial Dance Cirque Co. Elisa, along with her two sisters Samantha and Julie, own and operate A2D2 out of Mississauga ON. They provide customized cirque entertainment for corporate clients, committees, and private individuals alike, and it just so happens that our beautiful host, Jen, is a company member in their performance troupe!

Come hang with us, grab a drink (if you’re not driving) and get a special peak into the entertainment side of performance.

The title says it all. The brilliant Nicko Giannakos is a constant sea of verbal diarrhea but within it, there are nuggets of gold!

We sit with Nicko for what seems like 10 mins but turns into 3 hours, and have such a hilarious time while debating topics and having great conversation. We chat about Nicko’s transition from the ballet world to musical theatre, how more often ‘money’ is making the decisions these days, and managing our own process.

Nicko has had a full and exciting career. He is a member of the Glitz Entertainment team, and teaches and performs all over Canada. Some of his credits include: three seasons at the Stratford Festival (West Side Story, Evita, 42nd Street) Lord of the Rings (Mirvish Productions), and the North American tour of Saturday Night Fever, that he did alongside Jen and Ky! (Northcore Productions).

Robin is the toughest, most compassionate, beauty compacted into a 5 foot frame. She treated Jen and I like queens, while sipping on pickled Cesars and chatting about the difference in pay scales for choreographers who work in the US and Canada, about her process when creating, and how she is a spirited competitor.

Robin is a stunning performer turned choreographer who’s worked on such shows as Anne Of Green Gables (Charlottetown Festival), The Drowsy Chaperone, Rock of Ages (Drayton Entertainment) Beauty and The Beast (Theatre Aquarius). There are too many laughs to count in this episode, along with some beautiful advice.

Jen and Ky sipped on some rose and cider while Mickey gave us the inside scoop about what it takes to create a musical from scratch, why hustling is the best side job, and gave some poignant advice to aspiring creators...JUST DO IT!

Michael has sang the part of Tony for the National Ballet of Canada’s production of ‘West Side Story’, and performed in musicals across the country. You are not going to want to miss a word of what this ambitious, hysterical man has to say.
