Event Duration: 60 minutes
Combine the sheer, childlike absurdism of Buster Keaton with the deft physical intonation of Charlie Chaplin and you have Sam Wills : The Boy with Tape on His Face.
This exciting one-man show from New Zealand has been attracting attention across the globe for the past four years, racking up armfuls of awards for ‘Best Show’, ‘Best Show Concept’ and a nomination for ‘Best Newcomer’ at the 2008 Melbourne Comedy Festival.
Will’s piercing green eyes stare out over a rectangle of gaffer tape as he holds his audience spellbound. He deftly unfolds the childlike tangents of his delightful brain processes, preparing each vignette with intense obsessive compulsion. At last the suspense is broken with a hilarious and unpredictable manoeuvre.
The Boy with Tape on His Face is an audience-baiting, mad scientist of a comedian, who will leave you enraptured and laughing.
