Tape face talks series#
There are a series of mysterious and dramatic phone calls after which he tries in vain to fly a kite and there is a prolonged, maybe too prolonged, sketch in which he tries to catch a tennis ball shot at him while blindfolded. It’s all done in the best possible taste, like the guy who was asked to sit on a whoopee cushion followed inevitably by a good couple of minutes of full-bellied farts only for it to be revealed that Tape Face had removed the cushion before he sat down. And, most importantly, the stooges are not humiliated or made to look stupid. He gets unsuspecting – no, suspecting and willing audience members up on stage to assist him in the various pranks – and very funny they are to. His act consists of what amounts to a series of practical jokes.

Whereas before all his props used to be in his shoulder bag, now he has a stage full of them, plus a lot of big lighting and smoke effects. But there are lots of unofficial ones too, imposter performers going round claiming to be Tape Face.īut the universal success and acclaim is not all that has changed. They learn to perform an exact scripted copy of the act and on they go. The Tape Face “industry” employs other guys who don the costume and the tape. How can he be in three places at once? Simple, there are more than one of them, rather like Father Christmas and, I suspect, Nana Mouskouri.

Apart from the TV shows he has a show running permanently in Las Vegas and another in Australia and is currently on tour in Holland and Belgium. Hence the name – Tape Face.Ī lot has happened since I first became aware of him. But what makes you remember, what makes him stand out is that he has greased spikey hair, a lot of heavy black eye make-up and, rather conspicuously, a strip of black gaffer tape across his mouth. Slung around his neck is a leather shoulder bag. The guy comes on wearing an ordinary jacket, jeans and striped t-shirt. Original, clever, funny and, most of all, simple.
