PERSONAL SPACE WITH FIONA RENE
A New Kind of Talk Show that explores anything and everything
"Human."
Fiona dives face first into the absurdity of our
"private" lives and how EVERY SINGLE PERSON has a story
to tell.. Even a few that would absolutely ruin us if it
ever got out, at least we THINK it would. BUT WHY?! Those
moments are usually what help define us. Using all areas
of her home as a backdrop, that mix the vibes of Mr.
Roger's Neighborhood, Pee-Wee's Playhouse, and The Graham
Norton Show, Fiona gets deep with some characterful
friends, celebrity guests, and most importantly the
audience, opening them up and connecting them by not
being afraid to open up about her own ridiculous
past/present and always choosing to learn through wonder,
instead of expectation, intrigue, instead of judgment,
and bravery, instead of fear.
"I saved my spit in a water bottle for a week once, y'know, to see
what would happen.. Real artsy shit. Then forgot, of course, and
drank it."
How THIS SHOW is DIFFERENT:
GUESTS: Our guests are crucial in revealing just how
relatable we ALL are. Fiona merges 2 guests from very
different worlds; the religious, and the non-religious,
the "haves" and the "have not's", famous and non-famous,
and finds a way to celebrate the differences but walks
away with obvious and reachable commonality. Guests will
be given a list of plenty of "personal topics" to choose
from before they reveal on their appearance. Current
Celeb Guest Reach: James Franco, Felicia Day, Aubrey
Plaza, Chris Parnell, Daniel Stern, Snoop Dogg, Tara
Reid, Rob Heubel. + NON Celeb.
SKETCHES and SEGMENTS: We've created a show where our
guests, characters, AND Fiona can fully
embrace/relive/reveal the uniqueness about THEM.
*Face your Fear: Guests attempt Fiona's Back Yard Haunted
House (where she plays the monster)
*WomanOnTheStreet: Field Segment where Fiona asks people
on the street preettyyy risky questions. (Is this
(offensive action) inappropriate? What makes someone
human? Have you looked at your genitals in the mirror?
*DinnerTime: Scripted Comedy sketch set at a Dinner
Table, focusing on a group of stereotypical characters
(Family Members, Workers in a Office, Religious, College
Students, etc) together for dinner BUT each character
voices a perspective that is UNEXPECTED from their
"type." Topics. (see WomanOnTheStreet)
SETTING: In a "House" not studio, where the backdrop acts
as its own character. Each room offers a different tone/
story/ window into an aspect of life. We want to take
people out of the studio and into the comfort of "normal
life"
*The Bedroom for sketches like "Losing it," a guest's
awkward tale of having NO IDEA what to do their "first
time."
*The Bathroom for "Pee Break," where we discuss, with or
without a Guest, any of those personal moments of
contemplation like, "should I call a doctor about that
bump or "If I pluck it, how much will i regret it?"...all
the while, Fiona pees.
*The Basement for "What's Underneath?" where we explore
things that define us.....over a Fiona Rolled Joint
and/or a Bourbon.
RECURRING CHARACTERS: These characters represent the
multitude of individuality in our world but also
reinforce that everyone can connect when it comes to
having a unique experience and/or perspective...through
their humanity.
*Fiona's stoner housemate that see's himself as a
Philosopher.
*The mailman who has literally seen it all.
*The high strung neighbor and single mother of 3.
Personal Space explores who we are as humans with strange
tendencies that we hide from the world but fully embrace
in private… because I'll say one thing… EVERYONE is
weird, gross, funny, anxious, sloppy, and a total god
damn disaster and THAT is why we are ALL amazing and
beautifully unique.
