![]() He accesses an inner child in us all that must be fed. Tape Face is a character created by performer Sam Wills: delightful, wry, many-layered, hilarious and with universal appeal. Viral sensation Tape Face has to be seen to be believed. That night, I fall asleep, thinking of the boy with tape on his face.Mime with noise, stand-up with no talking – drama with no acting. I walk back to my hotel room and climb underneath the covers of my warm bed. I smile at him.īefore I know it, Tape Face has vanished into the night. ![]() I take it and look into his eyes one last time. I’ve just never met anybody like this before. I know I should probably just be patient with him. And not with his personality or anything, but with his emotions. There seems to be something very wrong with him. You’re Tape Face,” I tell him, remembering that I already said that earlier. He points to the tape and then circles his finger around his face. ![]() We sit awkwardly for a while before I decide to speak up. He was obviously speaking to me with his hand, but I couldn’t understand anything. His hands start flying around in the air in front of him. “What did I say?” I really don’t want him to go. He slowly nodded as his shoulders drooped a little. “Why are you leaving? Did I say something?” Then, he quickly shrugs and continues walking away. His wide eyes stared at me, lacking movement. Then, he looked around and started to walk away. “Well, since you’re not performing, maybe you could take your tape off, so we could talk?” I suggested as casually as I could. His face seems to sadden at my last question. “So, why are you dressed up?” I ask, curiosity getting the best of me. He makes a few gestures with his body, indicating he was just out on a walk. “Are you heading somewhere specific?” I ask him. Maybe he is on his way to a performance or something. I always thought whenever he went out in public, he would change out of his costume he uses for his show, but here he is, right in front of me, with his whole getup on. I can’t believe Tape Face just caught me staring at him. He seems to be laughing a little underneath the tape. I look away, feeling extremely embarrassed. Tape Face waves a hand in front of my face, making me realize I was staring at him for quite some time. But the thing that makes him stand out from anyone else the most is a thick black piece of tape that covers his entire mouth. He wears a black and white striped shirt with a black jacket over it. His cute eyes are wide with excitement and surrounded by thick, black eyeliner. He's so cute, I think to myself, Just look at him. He seems to get really excited and pleased to meet a fan. Besides, he looks exactly like him, it’s impossible for him to be anybody else. I am in Vegas and he has his House of Tape here. “You are Tape Face?!” I am shocked but at the same time, I know I should’ve figured it out. His eyes get even bigger as he nods several times and points at himself. “You look a lot like Tape Face,” I tell him. I’m so tired and for some reason, I actually think that it’s a good idea to go up and talk to this Tape Face lookalike. I don’t really have any friends or family that care about me, so I travel by myself a lot. That’s why I thought I was losing it when I saw a man who looked oddly like Tape Face, my favorite AGT act ever, walk by. ![]() I’m tired and I can’t seem to focus on anything. So, here I am, sitting right outside my hotel just after seeing a show in Vegas.
