Welcome back to another episode of the Good Night Podcast! This week, Amer Rez sits down with Montreal comedy veteran Pantelis, who also happens to be the very first guest ever to appear on the podcast.
Pantelis reflects on losing over 100 pounds through discipline, intermittent fasting, and completely changing his relationship with food. He talks about the mental side of weight loss, why consistency beats shortcuts, and how changing your body can change the way the world responds to you.
The conversation shifts into Montreal’s comedy scene, where Pantelis shares why he believes the French circuit is one of the most exciting places to perform, how it differs from English comedy, and why he encouraged Amer to start doing stand-up in French. They also discuss the importance of finding your own voice, staying patient, and building a career one set at a time.
Pantelis looks back on one of the biggest moments of his career, performing at the Bell Centre alongside Mike Ward, and explains how he prepared himself to enjoy every second of the experience instead of letting the pressure take over.
The two also dive into everything from Park Ex culture and growing up in Montreal to producing content, learning new skills, the psychology of stand-up, and why failure is often the thing that pushes people toward success.
Whether you’re a comedy fan, a creator, or someone trying to build something meaningful, this episode is packed with honest conversations, practical advice, and plenty of laughs.
