Synopsis

WELCOME TO TULIP is loosely based on this team’s personal experiences under the picturesque prairie skies in a quirky hamlet with lots of heart called Rosebud, AB. The creators affinity for Rosebud spurred the inspiration for the fictitious town of Tulip. Follow the eccentric and at times semi-incompetent people of Tulip as they struggle to pull their oddball theatre out of a mounting 2 million dollar debt. The blend of easy likability, gag density and heartwarming consistency of character create a gut-busting ensemble that feels like neighbours you (never) wished you had. Our three key creators will unite the zany, beauty, 'n Boom-Shack-A-Lack as they take you on a satisfying adventure.

Team

Giovanni Mocibob

Talent, Director

Who doesn’t love a brilliant storyteller? Well, Gio's the next great Canadian star. You may have seen him on the stage or screen and as usual he will bring his effervescent heart and physical comedy chops to Riccardo DiBankaba. Who can play the cute town weirdo better than the once cute town weirdo? He also brings his strengths in communicating story behind the the camera.

Holly Pillsbury

Showrunner, Talent

Holly's the outrageously passionate bossypants of the group. Her imagination's just plain crazy and her ability to generate memorable sketch is a stamp she loves to wear on her pasty white forehead. She may have beauty 'n brains, but her best asset is making life the biggest running joke. Plus, she will play town IT girl Jackie Cassidy with a whip cracking sense of humour.

Aaron Krogman

Editor, Writer

To balance out the pure insanity is filmmaker and writer Aaron Krogman. His ease with generating plot points, streamlining story, and Rosie nominated writing talent has brought him to the Alberta big leagues. Well as big as you can get without digging for oil. His multifaceted talents will be an asset considering he's also a professional actor, musician, and our editor.

I didn't enjoy the teaser very much. Are there other characters? I didn't get to know the maintenance man's personality at all.

Love the colourful characters and the setting. Gio is a joy and Holly is fearless. #3 video was a little choppy for my aging eyes to keep up with, but I loved the teaser and the heart forward fun.
Hannah K.

Yes!!! Bring this show to the prime time. This show is going to be hilariously addictive and just the kind of light comedy Canada needs.

Because a dude asphyxiating in pink dish gloves and a zebra bikini is hilarious, even if he wasn't dumpster diving... :D. No one does physical comedy and deadpan like Giovanni Mocibob!
Andreas S.

So looking at all these projects on this site this one stands out in production value and humour. To all of you naysayers who criticize this for being too much like Corner Gas, so no one else is allowed to entertain us with small town hyjinx? Canada has many small towns all with different stories fictional or otherwise.

Week one didn't grab my attention, so didn't watch week 2 - but wlll review and rethink things after week 3's clip. I like both of characters I saw this week, easy, comfortable style of talking, facial expressions add to the enjoyment. Looking forward to seeing all those characters introduced.

Sounds like something with a lot of potential (and a lot a room to get side tracked), godspeed.
Brian T.
posted 9 years ago

It looks like this has some potential - my only issue so far is that while I would watch a whole show with that character, I'm not sure if I would be able to handle him at the helm of every episode of a series. He makes me think of 'Hank' from Corner Gas - a funny character and ripe full of situations and dialogue to laugh away at, but he needs a Brent, Wanda, or Lacey to bounce off of.

Aside from the nearly faceless person he talks with, who else populates the town of Tulip? It sounds like a place full of characters; I would very much like to meet them!

This is a stellar idea and a superb backdrop for a fresh truly Canadian comedy. The potential for a heartfelt and hilarious series definitely lies in small town historic theatre transferred onto the small screen. Hope the best for this project.
