Tape Face

Tape Face's real name is Sam Wills. Excerpt from the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority website: Tape Face hails from New Zealand and he continues to achieve memorable success as seen in his placement as number 14 in Simon Cowell's "16 Most Memorable 'Got Talent' Auditions" on the recent Season 18 episode of NBC's "America's Got Talent." Though silent, the prop comedy and whimsical routines keep audiences engaged and truly laughing out loud.Tape Face is like an modernized Charlie Chaplin. He engages the audience members by pulling up people from the audience and using each person as an on stage live prop! We all tried to hide from Tape Face as he looked through the audience for a participant : * )It's a fun and slightly nuanced naughty and funny show for most ages. Amazingly, Tape Face has the audience participating in the show even if he does not talk during the entire time. Other cast members provide verbal shout outs and carefully selected music carries the show on. The show is just over an hour long. There is an open bar to order and pay for cocktails and nonalcoholic drinks. Popcorn and snacks may also be purchased to consume during the show. Overall 4/5 stars.

Tape Face is not your typical Las Vegas show. It does not fit neatly into one performance category.Tape Face's public image looks Beetlejuice-level horror-esque, but his act mixes the illusion of magic, the fun of vaudeville, and the comedy of a standup performance.That said, Tape Face remains almost fully mute during his program. How he accomplishes such a variety of entertainment while speaking no words is beyond me.If you purchase VIP seating, you get one of the front row tables for your group, along with some other perks such as a Tape Face merch store shirt and poster.And if you're extra lucky, you'll get chosen to be an audience participant on stage.Refreshments at the show are pretty typical - nothing unexpected. It's primarily overpriced and generic offerings, unless I'm not remembering correctly.The size of the venue is fairly intimate. I'd gauge that it's maybe a medium to small size audience show.It's a great choice for a small group outing. I attended in a VIP group of just 3 female adults, which was perfect.As an added note, I wouldn't say the jokes are all family-friendly, so I don't recommend bringing children younger than teenagers.

Absolutely the best small venue show in town! You will be in stitches the entire time! Every seat is perfect for enjoying a night out! Audience interaction is part of the show so every night is different! D yourself a favor and upgrade to VIP. Includes a swag bag and a stellar lanyard you can bequeath to your kids later on! Did I mention a bar on premises? Pro tip: Order a mixed drink! The cranberry and vodka is served in a 22 oz souvenir cup! Snacks are also available so enjoy the show! Tapeface is a unique character, but the stage is set with the opening act! Warms you up and sets the tone for what's to be a pee your pants hour and a half of laughter and snorting! This is the show you will want to come back to every time you are in town! Order tickets now!!!

Wow, again I am impressed with a show that I go to without knowing what to expect. Tape face is funny, entertaining and definitely creative. Audience participation makes up half the show so make sure if you are picked just go with it (you don't even have to anything ). All the audience members brought on stage during are show were awesome and great sports. The venue is nice, seating good, staff friendly, and drinks and snacks reasonably priced. This is definitely as shoelw we would see again especially to bring out of town guests.

Great show. Thank you for the laughs. I will say the door girl Is a little strange I tried to tell her today was the day John Lennon died as you did a routine of "imagine ". Her answer was" he beat his wife I don't care" and walked away. . I was just tryin to tell a story. She cost you 2 stars Honestly super funny show. I had never heard of you until was on house seats today

I picked this because he won America's Got Talent. UNFORTUNATELY I got called up. i know most people are excited for this but for me nooooo. I just wnat to watch the show not be a part of it. and as a germaphobe I'm always worried what they will do to me. not like I can easily wash myself off afterward. my wife was laughing her ass off the whole time I was up there. evil. He did a little bit where he pretended to fall in love with me and almost kissed me. he does crazy stupid things. thats why i like him. but whyyyyy did he have to pick meeeee

We enjoyed the show. I agree with the reviews that some of it is a rehash of what we have seen on TV with AGT and that it has a lot of audience participation, but that is part of what made it so fun, especially given the smaller venue size. Some of the bits could be considered "classics" for him. So, not doing them people would complain too. It's like Queen not performing Bohemian Rhapsody, the audience would be disappointed. Overall, Tape Face does a great job. If you go you likely already know what type of schtick to expect, so don't act surprised the mime doesn't talk. I liked Phyllis; her comments were like bad pick up lines, but when contrasted to her nerd outfit it made for a funny character. It felt like something Carol Burnett would have done on her show if it was on today. The opener Tyler Reid did a good job. I worry for his stomach and those balloons though. I hope he has a good proctologist or it will be an interesting colonoscopy for him one day.

Terrific show. Very inventive talent. Almost completely audience participation so never the same show twice. He searches the audience with his flashlight for the right participants instead of just picking from the front row and isles. We have been to the show multiple times and have always enjoyed. Many of the bits are from his appearances on AGT but they are still fresh (because of audience participation) and funny. Show is downstairs at the MGM (The Underground) in the old Brad Garret space which is now The House of Tape.. This is a more intimate space than over at Harrahs. Great event to add to an evening.

My husband has talked about wanting to go to Tape Face for years. I didn't know what to expect but it wasn't what we saw yesterday when we were given tickets. We were seated in a VIP spot, right next to the stairs to go on stage. We were so close that my knee was hitting the stage light. Tickets at the table I was at are $102 (+ taxes and fees) per person. I wasn't the one paying but I would be LIVID if I paid that much for this show. First of all, the entire show is audience participation based but you're not allowed to take any photos. My husband was called up to participate in the show and I hate that I wasn't allowed to snap a quick photo. I understand no video, but come on.The stage is dirty, many of the props look broken (like the golf club used in the blow dryer golf game) and the props are stored on stage in beat-up Amazon boxes. (See photo.) Yeah, actual Amazon cardboard boxes. They can't afford to fix anything up when they have a zillion signs for this show in Vegas that cost big money?This show is basically watching people from the audience do summer-camp-level games:- stand on a chair and use a broken toy golf club to try to hit ping pong balls off of a blow dryer onto a dustpan taped to a broom handle. - use a tape measure to have a lightsaber battle with Tape Face and then have a pretend dick measuring contest with the tape measures.- 3 guys is ratty wigs do a silly dance to "Blame It on the Boogie" by The Jackson 5. - have a staple gun fight with Tape Face while wearing chemistry lab goggles and holding three balloons. I was chin-level with the stage and got hit with a staple.- my husband had to hit a button that did a count down until the show was over and also put on gloves with tacks in them while the audience threw red balloons at him to pop while 99 Luft Balloons played. - woman was directed to do the same poses as a plastic lion figurine placed on a barstool while she kneeled on a chair. - old guy was made to put on coveralls, a Hawaiian shirt, a road worker vest and a construction hat over his clothes and then strip tease them off. - fly swatters and a feather duster in a lab coat stuck into a guy's pants (and same for Tape Face) and they dance with each other.- dance contest where two guys dance for a free Tshirt while Tape Face's assistant "Phyllis" yells sexual stuff at them. In addition to these audience games, Tape Face does his oven mitt puppets / Endless Love skit & dancing with himself from his 2016 AGT audition. He also pretends to solve a Rubik's cube while obviously swapping it out for a completed one from his pocket to cheers. He also uses a hanger, shoes, slacks and a tiny soccer ball with googly eyes to make a puppet that does a dance. I felt like the entire time I was forcing myself to laugh to be a good sport because I was in the front row. It just wasn't a show that I could recommend people to spend money on, especially at this price point. Obviously I'm totally fine with a show in Vegas not being appropriate for kids BUT I'm not sure what the age minimum is for this show because kids were there. I wouldn't bring kids to this. The opener / assistant "Phyllis" is dressed like a super nerd but says sexually harassing things and acts lecherous towards each audience member that goes on stage. There were some tween brothers at the table next to us with their parents and I could tell by their reactions that they were super uncomfortable with the sex jokes from her. I don't know what I was expecting but it wasn't this. For this price point, I don't expect to be hit with a staple from a staple gun, be so cramped that my knee is hitting a stage light, and that the props are broken and stored in old Amazon boxes. I have not seen props this busted since Suzie Malone's Le Magique Fantastique at Bally's.

We loved Tape Face on AGT so seeing him in person was amazing. It was so much fun. He pulled people out of the crowd and had them doing the most craziest things. He did this all without saying a word.
