Tape Face Live
With his electric-shock hairstyle, striped shirt and strip of black tape across his mouth, the performer known as Tape Face can't help but leave an impression on audiences. Yet what makes this modern-day master of mime and comedy truly remarkable is the wonder, whimsy and weirdness that fill his one-of-a-kind performances.
Tape Face's appearances on America's Got Talent in 2016 introduced wider audiences to this New Zealand talent. Tape Face is the creation of Sam Wills, who began his performing career as an aspiring clown while a teenager. Drawing from his love of circus, vaudeville and prop comedy, he developed a character that took the art of mime in bold new directions. A hit at the Melbourne Comedy Festival in 2008, Wills' show The Boy with Tape on His Face marked the first major success for the stage persona that he'd later present at such events as the BBC Comedy Prom at London's Royal Albert Hall.
Shortening his name to Tape Face, Wills became one of the standout performers on season 11 of America's Got Talent, advancing to the finals without ever speaking a word. The viral success of his performances led to his first headlining appearances on the Las Vegas Strip. After two hit limited engagements, he began a multiyear residency at Harrah's Las Vegas in 2018. Visitors to the specially built House of Tape will discover a show like nothing else on the Strip.
Tape Face Background
A modern-day master of mime and comedy, Tape Face is the silent stage alter ego of New Zealand's Sam Wills. Wills' signature creation began in his youth in the town of Timaru, where he studied the art of clowning and other performance traditions. After moving to the Christchurch area and establishing himself in New Zealand's comedy scene, he combined elements of circus performing, vaudeville, and prop and shock comedy to create his unique brand of entertainment.
In 2008, Wills introduced Australian audiences to the instantly indelible title character of The Boy with Tape on His Face, a show that became a breakout at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. He also gained fans in the U.K. when he performed the character on TV shows and at live events such as the BBC Comedy Prom in London's Royal Albert Hall and the iconic Royal Variety Performance.
Tape Face's hilarious routines and feats on season 11 of America's Got Talent made Wills' creation a viral phenomenon and an international sensation. On the heels of his AGT performances and his live and TV appearances in many countries, Wills came to Las Vegas for two hit engagements at Harrah's Las Vegas in 2017. The following year, he began his residency at the specially built House of Tape.
I haven’t laughed that hard in years! Great show and very talented! Must see!!!
Might be for some people but found it to be only slightly entertaining.
It was gut laughing fun. I teach deaf kids and would love to see them enjoy this comedy because no words or interpreter is needed. The facial expressions were enough to to convey the message. I would highly recommend it to anyone who just wants to spend an hour and half laughing. We all need that right now. The creativity is amazing.
Loved his show! We were entertained from beginning to end. I will definitely recommend his show!!
Saw him on tv. Live so much more fun glade we.made.this show. Entertaining at it finest
This show was great. Laughed the whole time. Price was affordable and Tape Face was awesome along with his supporting cast. Will plan to see it again.
The funniest and best show we have seen in Vegas. Our family loved it and if we come back to Vegas we will definitely see it again. Great family night watching Taoeface!
Really enjoyed the show. Relatively short, but always good to leave them wanting more. Lots of audience interaction, and Tape Face does such a great job of communicating emotion, etc., with eyes and body language. Hilarious show. There was one drink server working the whole room, so I would recommend grabbing a beverage pre-show and bringing it with you if you are so inclined.
So funny and original. The entire show was awesome. Loved every second.
Very interactive, lots of fun! Audience participation.
The venue was small, cozy...my daughter picked this show, i didn't really know what to expect...it was so cool! I loved the music & tapeface was so fun! It was interactive, they also really respected covid restrictions, making it funny for everyone to sanitize their hands before participating...i highly recommend this show for everyone!!!????
Wonderful show. intimate and clean venue. Show was so clever and funny. Audience participation made it part scripted, part impromptu. Go see it!
We had a great time! Laughed ourselves silly! Definitely would go back.
Interactive show ... laughs galore! Surprising how someone with his mouth taped has so much to say!
I was excited to take my family to the show as it was advertised as good for 5 year olds and over. The entire show was crude and fowl. The co-host was terrible. It had great potential, but failed to deliver. This is not a family friendly show.
Don’t pay the VIP rate, not worth it and you don’t get the things listed. Just buy the regular ticket or pick something else.
TapeFace continues to please. The venue is just the right size and the audience interaction is perfect. I am going to say we saw #2 TapeFace just because we are such fans that we noticed a slight appearance difference but the performance was plug and play. Phyllis took getting use to but did not distract too much from the performance. I recommend this performance and will go again.
Very creative and lots of audience participation. Highly recommended!
Tape Face was an unexpected fun experience for our family. We saw several children in the audience who enjoyed the act. If you’re looking for something to do with children age 10 and up, then consider attending Tape Face. The interactive show had us laughing from beginning to end.
Wasn’t sure this would be something my whole family would enjoy, but it was the most interactive and entertaining show we saw that weekend in Vegas!!! We were all laughing and having so much fun. It was AWESOME!!! Highly recommend! ??
