NO RAIN ON OUR TULIP PARADE

NO RAIN ON OUR TULIP PARADE

Thank you to all our FANS who have jumped right in! We're right there with you taking the plunge every week. Doing everything we can to bring the best we have to offer for your viewing pleasure. We've tackled some great obstacles, like making BC look like Alberta, or the fact that every core team member currently live in different cities! But the fun of this experience is only amplified by you, the FANS! We love to interact with you, read your comments, and make you laugh (honestly you guys make us laugh too)! Thank you for voting us into the TOP 55 and sending us on our way to the #1 spot!!!

LOOKING FOR COMEDY GOLD

LOOKING FOR COMEDY GOLD

This week we took a walk around Chemainus, BC and met hard working and hilarious Canadians. Don and Dan on the dock, Top Hat Antiques & Collectables, Willow Street Cafe, Pho Triple 7 Restaurant, Hansel & Gretel's Candy Co, and Chemainus Theatre. We highly recommend you give this tourist theatre town a visit! Life is so busy (we know it); but talking and laughing with these zany folks was worth slowing down for. We want our show to do that for you! Step into a world that tickles your heart and slaps your diaphragm! Laugh with OR at us crazies! We don't care! LAUGHTER IS WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR!

WHY GIVE A HORSE'S ASS?

WHY GIVE A HORSE'S ASS?

It could be easy to assume we are just making a funny series about people doing dumb things. Nope, that’s America’s Funniest Home Videos. The entirety of our series is about the evolving nature of work, family, and the arts. Industries change, families grow and shrink, and artistic mediums vary from black box theatre to the black box in your living room. We probably give the most time in our day to these three areas of life— in an ever revolving priority order. We want you to give a horse's ass because THIS IS YOU CANADA! Only way more tired, way more in debt and way more nuts.

WORK AND PLAY

WORK AND PLAY

Comedy Coup is a butt load of work and whole lot of fun! The genius of our show is that it showcases our own artistic strengths. One of those for Holly is her ability to improv out a character, scene and any LUNATIC dance move you request. She is never afraid of being the fool and is always looking for an excuse to push the boundaries within comedy. She really does have the imagination, fortitude, and wicked ass producing skills to take us to #1. Vote us into the TOP 15 and you'll see her insanity ensue!

TWO PAIRS OF FURRY EYEBROWS

TWO PAIRS OF FURRY EYEBROWS

These thick caterpillars are a duo that can't be beat. Both of them lived and worked in Rosebud for over a decade...and that is not combined. So combine that and you have over 20 years of small town artist experience. It has grounded all the crazy made-up stuff with true authentic heart. Gio is your Riccardo DiBankaba and there is no limit to what you will see this character think up or get involved with. Gio's a natural on screen and his electric talents are going to light up your TV! Aaron is the Wizard of Tulip cranking together this cuckoo series into something that makes sense. Vote 15!

    I'm left a bit confused after watching this week's video... These "hysterical ventures" that the town-folk will partake in, are they interactions with non-actors set in a real environment? Or are they all scripted and planned out. I think it was just the handheld footage and regular lighting that through me off as to how the show will play out. I do find your main actors have good chemistry though, and look very comfortable in front of the camera. Good luck with your event tonight!

    Hey Samuel,
    That is not the direction we are headed in at all. There is a clear transition into Gio and Holly as themselves starting with "our show is a fun, fresh and hopeful way to speak into the hearts of every Canadian from coast to coast". That is where we are talking about why we see this show as being a show for every Canadian. The handheld and regular lighting were a choice we made to show when we were in real world opposed to when we were in TV world as Riccardo and Jackie. Have you watched our other videos and awesome sell sheet? They will help answer the questions as well. Thanks for your thoughts and we are excited for our free comedy improv event tonight! Wish you could be there! Hope you are getting loads of votes!!

Before we entered ComedyCoup we discussed the longevity of our concept, as we realize that is essential factor in developing a successful series...which we are aiming to do always. It may be hard for you to see that now as the 90-second videos can't fully reflect what goes on in the writers room. We look forward to being able to reveal more to you! There is no limit on where this story could go. We are excited for you to follow and see that. Vote vote vote!

    You guys are supercute and loveable. I wonder how interesting Tulip is more and more of a city, hyping up the city would be cool. I like the use of "artsy-fartsy" in a marketing campaign, as a side note.

    It seems you guys are really passionate about this project and I love the idea. My only concern is, that if you base a show around solving a problem, what happens to the show once that problem is solved? Is a new problem created? Have you guys thought that far ahead?

    That's a great question! I think Holly answered that well. The only thing I would add to that is that the Town of Tulip is building towards a bigger goal and dream. Paying the debt down is the first step in building a thriving artistic and tourist driven community. And honestly things might get a lot worse before they get better. Yes we have thought past that point... But we want all that to be a surprise.

    Holly's Photo
    Holly P. 5  posted 10 years ago

    Thanks Jacob for your praise and excellent questions! Our title answers that well, "Welcome to Tulip". The basis of our show is inviting the audience into a community of people who are growing into their own. Debt is a big problem, but it is only one problem people have to deal with in life. There is so much more that this artistic town is made up of. Every episode, scene, and moment of our show you will see that. If the debt ever goes away, the town will still be alive with characters and their stories. We have thought well ahead into the future. Great TV shows do last more than a couple of seasons and we are building a show that can do that. Stick with us in the coming weeks and I know you will see that! Vote away! We'd love your support in that way as well.

    First of all, good job jumping into a cold lake on a cold rainy day. That takes dedication. I really did like this video. It looks like a funny show, but the irony is that the humor isn't even my favorite part (despite the fact that this is the comedy coup). What this show has that just about every other show lacks is heart. It was smart to talk about inspiring Canadians, because I don't really think that any of the other shows do that. Good luck.

I know that is all serious heart stuff right there, but that is what our humour is laced with.

    Man, there was a ton of footage in this video. Did you guys shoot everything in the past month or so? If so, that's really impressive (equally so if you leveled a house, which it seems happened in one scene). As for the mission itself, it seems you could've pitched a bit more to the media, but then again I think that could be said about a ton of videos this week, so I don't blame you for going the more all-encompassing route. Good luck with the Top 15!

    Some of the footage we used was from a shoot at the beginning of September. The majority of the video that was Gio and I running around town, at the garbage dump, jumping in the ocean was shot all on the Thursday before the video was released. We try to use new footage every week but if something great can be used before from other shoots we are proud to reuse it. If it serves the story in a strong way we use it!

    The show and story of Welcome to Tulip is based in Alberta. You're right, there is no ocean there. Holly and I live in Vancouver so the whole 2nd half of the video is just her and I being ourselves hanging out with real working Canadians. Whether they work on a fishing boat in PEI, a cafe in Calgary, or an antiques shop on Vancouver Island our show speaks to the heart of every Canadian. Hope that clears things up!

    I'm pumped about the inclusivity of your project. Your storyline, that seems simple, provides a great breeding ground for variety, and new ideas. You're so easy to watch, and you got that essence about you that I want to follow. I'm into this. I'm HYPED. I'm turnt up for Tulip.


    For anyone less than interested in this project, I've been working on a very creative and very different series, just for you. I know you will find it exciting. It's about a 7 foot tall vagina that is an Icelandic girl vagina, but it speaks fluent Hindi. It's also a paramedic, and plays ice hockey on a rep team. It lives in a red and indigo space nebula, and is formulating a plan. A secret plan. On the weekend, the vagina, previously known as Lee, officiates dog weddings. The world is going to explode in five days. V-jay-jay is our only hope for a hero. Also, the film style will be in black and white, with spanish subtitles. Also, a braille handbook, so those without sight can follow along to the dialogue they hear, reading with their hands what images are being displayed on the screen. Finally, I've decided to cast a pie of goose crap in the lead role.

    There are some kinks to work out, but I know for sure what the last episode will include: two men in nanamio bar suits, holding a giant sign that says "You shoulda voted for Welcome to Tulip!"

We loved this week's video because we got to show other small town Canadians working their butts off every day for the community they love and inspires them. Tulip is just like that and we want Canada to see that this isn't just a niche project but a show that is telling a story that so many creative and fun loving people can relate to! In regards to geography, isn't it cool that BC is still so freakin' beautiful even in the rain? It was worth getting wet to charge up everyone to jump right in with us no matter where you live.

    Giovanni Mocibob plays an amazing character, very fun to watch, i really like your idea for a show cause it seems so much like any small town across Canada. I found your video this week compared to some of the others out there to be just fair. But that doesn't reflect on your previous ones. Still doing a great job and looking forward to see what you will do next. Also hope you guys have a great HYPE event Sunday night

    Sheldon! Gio is a brilliant Riccardo and we can't wait to show more of his talent as the weeks move ahead! We really do want Tulip to translate beyond just relating to folks that live in the prairies. Canada has such a diverse landscape with unique people that we want this show to feel like it could be the town right next door to your own. Or even your own small town! We love the prairie landscape and plan on placing our town in that brilliant backdrop, but the problems and victories these townsfolk face are everyone's. I can tell you see that clearly! Thanks for the continued support and follow! We hope you LOVE our flip it video next week! In the meantime, VOTE VOTE VOTE!!!!

    You guys are nuts. In a good way.

    I do wonder though if showing so much west coast imagery is confusing in a show about a town on the prairies.

    Love the mosquito bit.

    hhahahaha thanks Mark! The west coast imagery was there when we were just being Gio and Holly talking about our show about town. I think if you see the way we cut into clips with telling our "TULIP story" it still comes across as small town on the prairies. For now just remember Gio and I are based in BC. We're not quite on location in AB yet! We're hoping to get the TOP 1 spot so we can be soon. I think any confusion will be history at that point. Voting starts tomorrow and I hope you will throw some our way! We'd love the support from Rosebuddies!!!

    Yes. Some of the shots you see are from Fort Langley. The others are in Chemainus! Two other great small communities of Canada with a lot of spirit and eccentric hearts. We have been so fortunate to film at amazing locations by the generosity of locals letting us use their property and spaces. This whole process has been incredibly rewarding in regards to really being able to get to know people in different areas. Forever grateful.
