Synopsis
Basically, a fella with gaffer tape over his mouth doesn't bode well for an evening of comedy. But this exciting one-man show from New Zealand is attracting attention across the globe. Strikingly original and an absolute delight to watch, this is one of the most innovative and downright hilarious shows for years. There's no 'walking into the wind' or 'stuck in a glass box' here, but somehow, Sam Wills manages to get loads of laughs from his comic skill alone. Unique!

Sole performer Sam Wills has sealed his mouth with gaffer tape (hence the name) and communicates what is required of participants through gestures and his expressive eyes. The complex set-ups involve the use of ordinary objects to extraordinary effect.
For the audience a large part of the fun is trying to second-guess Wills and work out what is going on before the punchline is revealed. The extensive use of background music from films helps comprehension. The Star Wars theme lets you know that a metal tape measure represents a light sabre. Serigo Leone’s Spaghetti Western theme sets the scene for a weird shootout.
