Award-winning comedian Tape Face, aka Sam Wills is all set to embark on his first-ever multi-city India tour that is being presented and produced exclusively by AGP World. As part of his debut trek that starts in January 2023 and runs across 2 weeks, he is set to perform his silent comedy show live in New Delhi, Pune, Kolkata and Mumbai.
For the unversed, Tape Face (formerly The Boy With Tape On His Face), is a modern-day silent comic star from New Zealand. In 2016, he made his Las Vegas debut, reached the America’s Got Talent finals and completed a sold-out 52-date UK tour.
Now, as his fans are waiting to witness his physically hilarious show in India, he shared his excitement on what he is looking forward to with his multi-city India tour during a conversation with Outlook. Excerpts from the interview:
You are all set to embark on your first-ever multi-city India tour. What do you feel about it?
I can’t wait!! I’ve been looking forward to coming to India for some time and to finally get the opportunity it’s fantastic. I’m very excited. It's a movie about being back out on the road again.
How difficult is it to send a roomful of spectators into splits without uttering a single word?
It takes a bit of effort when it comes to writing the shows but when I get the chance to perform it's no work at all as I find it incredibly fun. I think I’ve worked at the show long enough to know what works and what doesn’t for me and I’ve definitely built a fan base over the years.
How did you come up with your unique style of comedy? Tell us the process.
I can’t tell you that! It’s a secret.
Simon Cowell even pinned you as a modern Charlie Chaplin. What do you have to say about the similarities?
I like Charlie Chaplin but I’m a bigger Buster Keaton fan.
This is your first ever tour in the country, how have you prepared for it?
Not really as my show is truly international and can be presented to any audience on the planet and they’ll all have a good time.
Lastly, what is your way forward?
I’ve done all sorts of different styles of comedy ranging from improv to stand up but at the moment I’m really enjoying the silent comedy stuff so I don’t think I’ll be changing anything soon.
