TAPE BOY will have nothing to say and plenty to reveal when he performs at the Parabola Arts Centre, Cheltenham, this autumn.

The lad with tape across his mouth, as seen on the ITV Royal Variety Performance, will take a bow at the venue on Tuesday, September 20, from 8pm.

A spokesman said: "This is a show the world can’t stop talking about. This is stand-up comedy with no talking, drama with no acting and punch lines with no words.

"This year promises to be a bigger, brighter and more spectacular re-imagining of his unique and special brand of silent comedy. This truly is comedy made for everyone, be prepared to get involved and enraptured as you step inside a comedy world unlike any other. Visually stunning, heart-stopping, and hilarious - you’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and when it’s all over you’ll be completely lost for words."

The spokesman added: "Tape Face is a character with universal appeal. Delightful, wry, many-layered and hilarious, Sam Wills accesses an inner child in us all that must be fed. Through simple, clever and charming humour aimed at satisfying that hunger, he has created one of the most accessible and enjoyable shows the world has ever seen.

"Drawing on a heritage that includes silent film, mime, magic, puppetry, Motown and the films of Patrick Swayze, Tape Face is a pensive, curious soul approaching every object and audience member as a potential friend."
