Following a stunning year (during which he made his debut in Las Vegas, reached the Final of America’s Got Talent, completed a sold-out 52 date UK tour, performed for a season in Las Vegas’ iconic Flamingo Casino, toured America AND successfully persuaded a Spice Girl to wear a toilet seat on her head live on American TV in front of an audience of over 14 million!) Tape Face is proud to announce his long-awaited return to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017.

This highly-anticipated show will be the culmination of many years of jaw-droppingly unique material: A career-defining Best of Tape Face that’s a bigger, brighter and more theatrically spectacular re-imagining of everything Tape Face’s fans have come to expect from his much-loved brand of silent comedy. This truly is for everyone so be prepared to get immersed in a comedy world unlike any other.  Visually stunning, heart-stopping, and sublime – you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and when it’s over you’ll be completely lost for words.

Sam Wills’ creation is totally unique – a multi-award winning, multi-hyphenate spectacle that needs to be seen to be believed as he conjures uproarious, moving tableaux using only the most everyday objects and popular songs.  Tape Face accesses the inner child in everyone. Through simple, clever and charming humour, he has created one of the most accessible and enjoyable shows the world has ever seen. Drawing on a heritage that includes silent film, mime, magic, puppetry, Motown and the films of Patrick Swayze, he is a pensive, curious soul approaching every object and audience member as a potential friend – or plaything. Since Tape Face’s ‘birth’ his shows have sold out around the world during which time he has become a critically acclaimed silent sensation with Simon Cowell comparing him to a modern Charlie Chaplin.
