PERSONAL SPACE WITH FIONA RENE

PERSONAL SPACE WITH FIONA RENE

A New Kind of Talk Show that explores anything and everything
"Human."

We’re about to go ham on the absurdity of our "private"
lives and how EVERY SINGLE PERSON has a story to tell… a
story that would absolutely ruin us if it ever got out,
at least we THINK they would. BUT WHY?! These stories are
the moments that define who we are as individuals, and
Fiona is NO exception! Using her entire home as a
backdrop, while blending Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, Pee-
Wee's Playhouse, and Alan Carr’s living room, Fiona gets
deep with some colorful characters, celebrity guests, and
most importantly the audience; opening them up and
connecting them by being fearless in revealing her own
ridiculous journey. Fiona, and her cast of guests &
friends, will always choose 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 provide a crucial element in our
effort to reveal just how relatable we ALL are, even with
our vast differences. Fiona uses her remarkable ability
to connect the deeply personal sides of two guests from
vastly different worlds; the religious and the non-
religious, the "haves" and the "have not's", the famous
and the not-so-famous. She is the conduit between the two
worlds, finding a way to celebrate their differences,
ultimately highlighting the reachable commonalities.
Guests will be given a list of questions relating to the
week’s “personal topic to answer before their appearance,
which will help us dive deeper into them as people, not
just famous faces, and how they relate to all of us.
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.
*The [blank] Family: Scripted sketches that follow a

stereotypical family of four and their journey through life as
individuals and as a unit. They will surprise the audience with
their not-so-stereotypical choices and unexpected views, breaking
away from expectation. Each week, the “family” may change race,
economic standing, religion, etc., but are always true to the
established characters and played by the same actors. Imagine a
mini-sitcom within Personal Space itself.
*Face your Fear: Guests attempt Fiona's Back Yard Haunted House
(sometimes Fiona herself will be a monster or scare tactic)
*Woman On The Street: Field Segment where Fiona asks people on
the street shockingly personal and potentially risky questions.
(Is this [offensive action] inappropriate? What makes someone

human? Is a man wearing make-up “black face” for women?)

SETTING: It’s personal, so where else would we be but
Fiona’s "House,” NOT in 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 rigid 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 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 aloof 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 all
the 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 goddamn disaster and THAT is why we are ALL
amazing and beautifully unique.
