Edinburgh 2011: The Boy With Tape on His Face - Three @ The Fringe - BBC

[@327Soccer]

this guy is actually a genius

[@YoungDris1]

real talk bruh

[@nem447]

Was Michael Jackson ever this black?

[@rottingemptiness]

absolutely

[@Baby4Ghost]

he trained 3 people without saying a word.. damn..

[@Alteriukas]

It's the next Mr.Bean, he will be in movies for sure if not yet.

[@JonNewberry]

this guy is fantastic. why cant real talent like this get famous?

[@Lycanrice]

Because people are too idiotic to fall for idiotic things like vine and such

[@ooyou]

+Diekenki PREACH 🙌🙌

[@Lycanrice]

+Alienated BaoZi Thx I come here weekly

[@ameerdekheel3901]

one day...one day he shall rise!

[@Snapcrakle37]

He is on Americas got talent this season so hopefully that will build his popularity

[@Pookie0504kb]

He could/should be an international star comedian! His "language" is universal and understood around the world. I think he's brilliant and quite unique!

[@KetchupRevenge]

Rowan Atkinson had a similar thought (Mr. Bean). When he came up with Mr. Bean, he actually booked his act on the French speaking stage at the Montreal Comedy festival to see if physical comedy translated over the language barrier. The fact that the audience was mainly French-Speaking made no difference... They laughed just as hard as his English Speaking audiences.

[@Monsterhunterbrony]

In the same vein in montreal we had Michel Courtemanche who was also pretty good before his downfall. he tried to outdo an other comedian who at the time bea tthe world record for longest improvised stand up comedy. Michel attempted to make a 24 hours improvised sketch but sadly after about 2 hours he ran out of ideas and decided to refund the audience.

[@nanomsn788]

he will become one believe me , I'm moroccan and I'm laughing so hard at this :') , he's a real artist and if he wins the AGT then we'll officially talk about a new international comedian god willing.

[@rbxCriss]

He's already travelled around the world. He was announced by Tim Minchin, for crying out loud.

[@ananikitovic6577]

+Zect om.

[@alexcortez5571]

damn he trained 3 people without saying a word :o

[@BarreOblique]

If only as a teacher we could do that sort of things ...

[@Qmarkboy]

After so many years still makes me laugh. Such a genius without any words.

[@angryrantmansneighbours8470]

This guy helped me when I needed happiness in my life.. forever thankful for him

[@whats77775]

He meak me smiling tooo

[@KathyTam-nv5lw]

Me too!

[@LickNRiff]

A tour de force of inventiveness and stage confidence. One of the most original comics I've seen in a long time.

[@mrali4135]

Whats your name this songs in the show

[@SarieeSqueak]

I've seen him live. To those of you who don't like him, it's much better if you actually go and watch it. Different atmosphere. I love him, I think he's hilarious!

[@whats77775]

Я вам по-хорошему завидую!!!

[@hetaes]

His act is so cute and innocent, yet brilliantly hilarious. I love it. I hope he wins AGT.

[@beccab3671]

Love how he incorporates music in his routines

[@VerdaTal]

I never once thought I'd see an example of Jester comedy combine with Mime in such a brilliant, relevant way. I'm sad it took my this long to find his work, but I'm thrilled that I have.

[@barbvanhouten9244]

Allen S I just found him in Oct. of this year (2018) and I can't get enough! Have to watch him every day, or I can't start the day!💖

[@LizBizEEEE]

I bring you back

[@The_willfather]

I love how he taps the mic at the beginning to make sure it works, like he’s gonna talk

[@ENemy_SHpotted]

lol literally does it at EVERY show and gets so little laughs but it gets me everytime

[@gregde3176]

His career is made up of making other people feel awkward.. it's genius :')

[@Mar-velousMarlenak8]

When simple silliness and creativity are more enjoyable and funny to watch than most of the other comedians out there. Tape face you are amazing sir! Much love to you from the US.

[@Kontrapunkt12345]

so true!

[@gusteree]

All the Agt watchers are gonna be here soon

[@mahogatstfm8160]

I'm here. He's amusing

[@justinthestickman]

LOL he needs to do this with the judges

[@bob-km4uq]

+Justin Huang yeah but he only will have like 2 min

[@mitchhillerich1922]

I glad I am... Hilarious

[@sheld999]

little old nz making people laugh again :) 1st with billy james now with boy with tape on mouth

[@JustAbe1020]

its simple, yet brilliant. He's going to win AGT.

[@luiskhleif8595]

Same I was calling it

[@peacefrieden6026]

I am not sure about that, this year there are some really good talents

[@lavabuckethd5507]

I also want him to win but the thing is if he does people would be like how did this guy even get into the finals

[@merringuthrie2587]

God, I hope so with all my soul!

Im telling u,this guy is totally awesome,even long performance but funny and intelligent...

[@walsjell]

+Nobellend he is very creative person!

[@Aang_L._Jackson]

how did he make two shoes look like a singing Michael Jackson... so brilliant

[@gc4530]

It's so amazing to see all his way from far-far 2011 till now! The truly self-made man. High respect!

[@HauntedByNic]

This guy is brilliant.

[@saidboulbaroud1942]

good god this man is weird but genius 😍😍😍😍

[@JH-ng3hj]

Reminds me of Charlie Chaplin

[@saidboulbaroud1942]

Exactly

[@Snowleopard755]

There's a video of him being interviewed and he seems pretty normal, just weird for his act - which isn't unusual in showbiz. Genius - definitely.

[@justSleepi]

he's creepy but funny at the same time

[@JustLooseMe]

What he does is so... simple, but he do it on such a genius way its incedible! xD

[@kristineximeno6739]

The amazing thing is that it gets funnier and funnier when I watch it again and again ... 😹😆😄🤣

[@JjM91084]

This was pure genius. I love Don't Blame It On The Boogie by The Jackson 5. Right when the song came on I knew exactly why he was making the participants do what they were doing and the build up was perfect. Just sucks that they were so stiff and the crowd was so lame. If the participants would've been more in to it I'm sure the crowd would've too. And it's kinda freaky how much tape boy resembles Eminem. Definitely rooting for tape boy to win AGT just off his pure creativity and uniqueness

[@EdwardKen_nedy]

I know this comment was 6y ago but I just can't control myself to tell you how much I agree with you

[@eddiemglass]

Having first seen him on AGT, I am amazed to learn that he had this act, back in 2011. A very funny, inventive, mime act.

[@sheld999]

Hes been acting since 2003

[@jkrfan7]

He's really good. Reminds me of Charlie Chaplin

[@curt05311]

He's offbeat and reminds me of Andy Kaufman.

[@LaraTang]

reminds me of the guy from AGT

[@elmojoworking]

he is the same... his name is sam wills

[@LaraTang]

I know haha

[@Mar-velousMarlenak8]

jkrfan7 I was thinking exactly the same thing! This kind of talent is something you are born with it's like he's Charlie's reincarnation.

[@n2i3v4]

such a talent!! can't stop watching it over and over

[@Normanroberts]

This is genius, pure genius. Sam Wills, my deepest respect. Love it!!

[@WillBassman]

Why the hell didn't he use that Michael Jackson routine for the finals on America's Got Talent?

[@ashleyez2022]

toolong

[@WillBassman]

Ashley Hmm, yeah. That's fair. I almost forget sometimes that there are time limits on these things.

[@tiamta]

The contestants can normally only use the judges and nick for their acts (he got special permission for the balloons) taking 3 judges up would only leave 2 (if you include nick)

[@Lissyhead2]

Probably copyright issues

[@tillyboos]

Lean on Me was pretty damn good for AGT's final.

[@BergsArt]

I never thought that imagination like this could be entertaining. I was wrong.

[@BenCraftzCreative]

This should be his Finals act for sure. I know he will go to the finals because he's won over the audience already

[@TheQueenofSoup]

+Lloyd Franklin how do you know he was in the bottom two? they announce the people who advance in no particular order, he was actually at least within the top 5.

[@amanhasnoname766]

The audience is dead af .

[@VLQL]

Brits usually have quiter crowds.

[@dankennedy6377]

Nearly dead

[@Yatsura2]

because he dragged it out af

[@kenc1161]

I thought asleep, boring af

[@kAnimalj]

Talent shows cut out parts that drag so maybe this is just what it actually was and the crowd was just quiet

[@billygardener19]

Now that he's on America's Got Talent, I am seeing all his performances on YOu Tube for the first time. Just love this guy. What a great performer!

[@tapefaceboy]

@thesoulman89 I feel as though I need to have a say in this as it is my show. One of the biggest things I hate is racism and for someone to suggest that there is a racist intention in this show I find offensive! The character and the show in general have developed with the intention to provide comedy that is suitable for anybody, anywhere in the world even to the point that there are no words! For you to be one of the people who LOOKS for racism it shows a lot about you as a human being.

[@bramleydragon]

You tell him Tapeface, what you did was all in good fun and you did it superbly. The Singing shoes were hilarious. Keep up the good work.

[@khadijakolsawala9323]

Omg!! Are you the Real Tape Face!! Omg!! Congratulations! I love watching you to the point that I exhausted all my data and even 2other phones data watching all your performances haha!! Thank you for making us laugh. You're truly unique and you represent what I call as creative and inner child of a person..and you've got absolutely amazing humor skills. Thank you so much if you ever read this comment.!!!

[@doodleoffice221]

What happened? Also, *Are You The Real TapeFace?*

[@Strawberry_gal]

My daughter did this gig at her talent show a few years ago...she loved Tapeface on AGT. So I looked up his acts, she loved this one. Lol.

[@natsuki7253]

That man's rise was crazy. Literally amazing.

[@ashconner2293]

I love tape face!!! He is absolutely talented. We need this talents in our life. His amazing

[@Zoe_the_Introverted]

He should do the boogie bit with Simon Cowell and Howie.

[@TNT_141]

I would pay money to see that happen

[@Zoe_the_Introverted]

+Tylernation Gaming it would be just fabulous, right?

[@Rockysbeats]

he kinda dropped the ball on his last Act on AGT. if he had of done the Boogie with the judges like you said he might of won!

[@RonJDuncan]

Unfortunately, based on the time allotted to each act, he wouldn't have been able to do it properly.

[@CigarBearSD]

Love him! It will be nice to see him go further in AGT.

[@ghostfornow2917]

It’s hilarious when he checks the mic as if he’s gonna use it. He does the bit every time and it seems like nobody appreciates the joke in the moment but it’s so brilliant!

[@captainloney6239]

I like his music choise sooo much

[@ЮлияФилатова-щ1э]

I like how this guy makes things alive and how he quick react on people

[@sumayah6025]

I feel like he's gotten younger since this performance. . . it's the eyeliner, isn't it?

[@intiotto3616]

Sumayah Khan yes if you mean the 4 kilos of coal around his eyes

[@DrSonSteve]

Yes, just look at Avril Lavigne. Human perception can be trick and the eyes makeup is one of those trick

[@pablosky5]

It's brilliant and You do not need to speak his language to laugh. Just amazing!

[@TwistedDogProduction]

As a fellow artist tapefaceboy, with over 25 years in this business we call show, let me just say, great job. There are individuals that will find fault in anything you do, we can either feed their senseless, racially biased egos, or we can keep doing what we do that the other 99.99% of the people like. Please keep up the good work, and let us know if you make to the other side of the pond.

[@roshankeni2]

does he qualify as a mime.. he's got the shirt and all

[@Wolfdoggie]

If so he's the only good mime I ever seen.

[@Necromancyyy]

Yes

[@javainc.8823]

look up his act in the royal variety and they call him a mime. The only mime not trying to get out of a box.

[@heatherrockwell9012]

[@TheGuzdar]

I think he is a mixture of a mime and a prop comic

[@UserC479]

i think it's absolute genius this - this is bringing back silent comedy such as charlie chaplin with his own style! class stuff

[@Bobbob12397]

I'd consider it a step down.

[@starlitexdragon]

Actually, it's a big step up. If he wins, it's an act in Las Vegas. If not, he still gets a lot of recognition from the show. Not many people know him.
