Fruit Farm would be a ½ hour locational sitcom based on the stand up comedy of Joe Pillitteri. Joe’s entire upbringing was a series of adventures and misadventures with a foul mouthed Italian immigrant father and an overly religious Scottish immigrant mother. Fruit Farm takes a wry look at both past and present in the life of Joe and his family growing up on a farm in the heart of Niagara.

so great
Quite the competition from the east to the west coast and such an excellent group of participants makes it hard to pick just 15. I hope CBC gives you each a coffee mug or something for getting to the top 55. Best wishes to all.
great stuff
HILARIOUS!
love it
awesome stuff
had a great time at your event on friday! you were hilarious i couldnt stop laughing!
great stuff
Hilarious. Totally relate to this. The lead's a comedian and is hilarious with family friendly material so I could see this being a big show.
I found it funny. Could potentially be a 2014 Canadian version of the Andy of Mayberry
This comedic voice is fresh, inventive and hilarious. A lot of potential in the premise and a great front man. Definitely want to see more.
I can see the potential here, but will it only bring out the cultural stereotypes??
i don't think so. i've seen joe do his act several times and he treats such issues with respect and care.
great stuff here. i want to see more.
joe's comedy act is hilarious. this show would be a hit for sure
love it! great stuff
There is potential here. Language may be an issue.
Solid comedic work with heart and compassion.
Hilarious! I can't wait to see the next episode.
great stuff
Lots of potential there!
Great teaser video on how crazy things used to be, danger and fun mixed and one, good stuff
Solid concept based on a well honed stand up routine. I'm interested in seeing this progress throughout the competition and what you bring to the challenges. Great Start!!
regarding the CS word (for CBC censoring) ... what if instead of it or "bastard" word you actually say the word "Beep", followed by the suckers routine? :D Just an ideea
Yes Bogdan - we have had some pushback from viewers on the "word". We think that it would be best to keep the word but beep the important part like you suggest!
:)))))
And here's our very TOP 1 - Awesomly done, Joe. Can't wait to see the next one. I've watched all of your youtube videos and loved the style - extremely funny mini tales and so elegantly wrapped all together.
This one, the Fruit Farm - great, inspired, funny delivery with awesome follow up - the school incident where a "beep" sucker bites his friend :)) Good video clip directing and I find it a great ideea, too, the beeping (censoring) only when the kid says it (vs the grown up story teller), when the young Joe helps his school friend with strong, rock solid good advice regarding the beep beepers :)) ...his father knows better, it's the voice of experience itself.
All in one, c'mon Joe, hurry up, we want to see your next show!!!
Thanks so much for the kind words Bogdan - we will upload more content in the weeks to come and hope you check it out!!
Very funny!! Good luck, Joe.
Thanks Reid!
I LAUGHED WAY TOO HARD
Thanks so much Alex - you'll see new content on Monday so keep visiting! Voting for the top 50 starts October 23rd!
So funny....so true. good luck Joe
Thanks so much Ruby - we think there will be universal appeal for the show :-)
Looking forward to more from Niagara's favourite funny man!
Thanks for the kind words Sean - don't forget voting for the top 50 starts October 23rd!
OMG, that is so true, and yet so funny, loved this, want to see more please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks Karen! We'll be adding more content over the next three weeks as voting to go into the top 50 starts on October 23rd - tell all your friends!!
love it! So true. Go Joe, Johnny and Vinnie!!!
Thanks Maggie!
Yawwwnnnnnnnnn! No pesticide can help save this boring premise.
Hey Jim - thanks for the feedback on the project. We wrestled with what to put together for the teaser clip knowing that it wasn't going to float everyone's boat. More content coming over the next three weeks - hope you'll check it out and let us know what you think.
hilarious
Thanks Mylene!!

Great stuff Joe. Good luck!
Thanks Denis!
Thanks for all the support! Let's get this thing cracking!
This is really great stuff!! Keep at it! I wanna see more of this project !
Thanks for the love Anna - keeping our fingers crossed to make the top 100 tonight at 9 pm!!
Great stuff Joe- good luck!
what CBC word could ever replace CS?
Great question Jill - we're pouring over old Beachcomber episodes to see if Relic ever needed to be censored. In the meantime, forerunner is a simple *beep* like the one that's used when young Joe swears, "bastard" may also work (I remembered hearing that on a BBC show about King Henry VIII that was rebroadcast on the CBC when I was a kid and being slightly shocked). Thanks for the feedback - stay tuned, hoping to crack the top 100 and release some material that's "safer" for work.
Hilarious! I want more!
Thanks so much for the kind words Andrea - fingers crossed for tonight's top 100 announcement!

A classic buddy!!! still laughing... good luck!!!
Thanks for checking out the project Greg!
This is so funny. Growing up with a fruit farm I can definitely relate. Had me laughing the whole time. Cannot wait for the full video. Amazing stuff.
Thanks Danielle! We have a lot of material prepped for future mission submissions and hope you stay tuned - hoping to crack the top 100 tonight!!
Joe's wonderful take of growing up on a farm under the 'good guidance' of his parents serves him comedic therapy to which I can enjoy and howl.
Thanks for the kind words Scott - we're keeping our fingers crossed for tonight's top 100 announcement!
