“CHANNEL Vice” is Andrew de Real’s newest project to be staged on Chatterbox on July 12, 2001 featuring one of ‘The Library’s best talents.’

With his hands full running a business that’s been in the limelight for 16 years, Mamu can still tackle different roles as a manager, scriptwriter as well as a director when it comes to giving out the best in entertainment to the audience he and his ‘alagas’ cater to.

Prolific in making spoofs of whatever’s happening around, Mamu can easily concoct a script for his talents that delights the producers that give them all these special attention.

Now, it’s Vice’s turn to show the audience what he’s got.

“Channel Vice” will be a spin-off from television’s ‘Channel V’. Maybe you can get a cue from there.

Producer Anna Paz of Asia Taipan Inc. is obviously Vice’s number one fan in coming out with this very special show.

How does Mamu do it? Making his hosts shine in every show that they do?

“The script is written according to the talent and the personality that they are known for. Vice is a good singer, too. He can dance and do his own gags. The rest will have something to do with what we’re seeing in Channel V and Vice will have his own story to present. In a very comic way. His character will come out.”
