Radio Treatment

Radio Treatment – Drew’s Deceit – Comedy Radio Show

Premise
Famous actress Drew Barrymore plays crude gags on the unprepared public via telephone.
Like MTV’s Punkd, Drew can use her celebrity status to play cruel jokes on her unsuspecting famous friends and colleagues including her godfather, Steven Spielberg.
Drew’s cruel shenanigans can range from telling people their love one’s have died in a comical but believable way, to informing them that a partner has been downloading a vast amount of child pornography and is about to be shot. We will use current audio technology to distort her voice from people that may recognise it.

Characters
Drew Barrymore – Lovable, well-known host, whom people know as notoriously be a beautiful, young actress with many blockbuster films under her belt such as “Donny Darko” and “Charlie’s Angels.”
Tom Green – Her Ex-boyfriend and producer of the show. He is well known for his live stand-up shows and starring in movies such as “Freddy Got Fingered” and “Road-trip”. He is also known for his audacity and has performed such skits and placing a cows head in his parents bed while they slept because his father was a fan of the “Godfather” films and pretending to have intercourse with a dead moose by the side of the road.

Setting
Live studio, probably on a station such as radio 1, where they are more likely to get away with cheek and vulgarity. Should be played on a Friday evening from 7pm to 8pm for an hour, while people are getting ready to go out, or having a couple of drinks before they hit the town. Will have the aim of an older teen audience of maybe 15-25 year olds.

Mood and Style

Will contain crude sound effects such as belching noises as well as sound effects that will be used in tricking the public. Rock/metal music will also be played at different points throughout the show to spread it out a little.

Finish the show up with the celebrity phone call, followed by Drew revealing herself to the person she's been winding up and letting them choose a song which is played to end the show.
