Blending stand-up comedy, mime, vaudeville and puppetry, ‘The Boy With Tape On His Face’ wasthe runaway hit of last year’s Edinburgh Fringe, scooping myriad five star reviews and anEdinburgh Comedy Award nomination for best newcomer. Now there’s another chance to catch thisdelightful, charming and witty award-winning show as it returns to the festival for two weeks only.
The brainchild of New Zealand stand-up Sam Wills,Tape Face appeals to the child in all of us. Notto say that Wills’ act isn’t clever – it is. Wills has created a charming character who opens up aworld of singing shoes, mischievous dustbins, willing audience participation and the heart-warmingpower of gaffer-tape. Even more, ‘The Boy With Tape On His Face’ offers an antithesis to the manymotormouth comedians on the circuit.
