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! Running time 80mins + interval.
Book your tickets now for this award-winning Edinburgh Fringe sell-out.
Our Review:
Theo Bosanquet - 21 December 2012
Arriving in the West End clutching an Edinburgh Comedy Award and boasting a raft of raves, it's been a very good year indeed for The Boy With Tape on His Face - aka New Zealander Sam Wills.
The gaffer-taped goon is a thoroughly likeable performer who brings a welcome strand of silent clowning to a West End scene sorely lacking in comic variety.
The 75-minute show is something of a 'greatest hits' collection, and those who've caught The Boy's occasional TV appearances (including last year's Royal Variety) will be familiar with much of the material on show.
Staple guns, oven mitts, toy teeth and plungers are among the multitude of props used in all manner of unexpected ways. Each sketch lasts no more than a couple of minutes and most involve audience participation - by the end I felt in the minority having not been called into action.
Many sketches require deceptive levels of accuracy, and not all are guaranteed...
