[Dave] 1.You are going to be doing a new show is The Twisted Pepper called 'VoiceBox', what

will it involve?

[Cian Hallinan]VoiceBox is going to be a chat show format, not unlike The Late Show (with David

Letterman) or The Late Late Show or Late Night (with Conan O'Brien) or Later or

basically any television show with the word 'late' in the title.

I'm going to be interviewing two guests per evening: people from the worlds of

entertainment, music, comedy, fashion or just plain weirdos.

It's all going to be live, with plenty of games, slide shows, audience participation

and a giant sticky vat of fun.

[Dave] 2. If you catch the flu, and lose your voice, is it just a box?

[Cian] If I lose my voice and can't speak, the show will degenerate into a painfully long

series of mimes.

Like playing charades with your slightly senile great aunt at Christmas.

And someone has just given her 'Nosferatu' to act out.

[Dave] 3. What can people expect to find in your shows?

[Cian} People can expect to find a familiar and pleasant and warm feeling, wrapped in

something new and original.

Like a cat dressed as Prince, or soup brought to you by a schizophrenic harlequin.

Clearly I have no idea how to answer that question.

[Dave] 4. How did you come up with the idea for the show?

[Cian] Naturally, I stole it from someone.

[Dave] 5. Are there any other shows which you feel may be similar or is this a new and

exciting thing to hit Dublin?

[Cian] It's not necessarily new and exciting – I'm not going to be throwing animal entrails

at the audience while dressed in a cape and humming 'O Fortuna'.

But as far as I know, nobody else is doing anything like it at the moment. It's

going to be light entertainment, but without the Bruce Forsyth/Ant and Dec garbage

that's given that a bad name.

[Dave] 6. How often will this be happening?

[Cian] It's going to happen every two weeks. If it becomes more successful it'll be weekly.

If it becomes a massive success it will occur every four minutes on the roof of the

GPO.

[Dave] 7. When does it start and any exclusives for us to hear of from you?

[Cian] It starts on January 15thand the first guest is going to be singer James O'Neill of

Bitches With Wolves, the most exciting man to come out of Dublin since Buck Whaley

hung out with Ahmed al-Jazzar in Galillee.

He's really not to be missed – think sex, think gold, think fashion. Then STOP

THINKING... because your head may explode.

[Dave] 8. Do you have a question for me?

[Cian] How do I quit you?

If you rub 2 goats up and down your right leg, that should do the trick Cian.
