Shaft of Wit presents double funny, world-class entertainment featuring our biggest star so far...
Celebrating 20 years of the inimitable Tape Face with special guest, Kate Butch (RuPaul’s Drag Race UK).
A once-in-a-blue-moon comedy event, direct from his smash-hit residency at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, the internationally acclaimed silent sensation Tape Face (AKA The Boy With Tape On His Face) makes a rare and unmissable return to the UK to celebrate 20 years of sensational silence with a short, exclusive run at the Edinburgh Festival.
Before he vanishes back to Vegas, this is your chance to witness a truly unique and mesmerising live experience. Tape Face is a genius creation, a masterclass in physical comedy, mime, and silent storytelling. Utterly beguiling, endlessly inventive, and completely unforgettable - his performance is a joyful escape into a world of wacky wonder.
But that’s not all…
Joining him is the gloriously brilliant, camp, and chaotic Kate Butch - a comedy queen many will recognise from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. With a magnetic personality and a tremendous voice, Kate Butch is an act that refuses to be ignored. Expect songs, sass, and side-splitting satire.
Plus spectacular support acts and a top-tier MC to keep the laughter flowing all night long.
Please note that the artists appearing may be subject to change.
Tape Face
Tape Face accesses the inner child in everyone. Through simple, clever and charming humour, 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, he is a pensive, curious soul approaching every object and audience member as a potential friend – or plaything. Since Tape Face’s ‘birth’ his shows have sold out around the world during which time he has become a critically acclaimed silent sensation with Simon Cowell comparing him to a modern Charlie Chaplin. Award-winning Chaplinesque New Zealander who has been compared to Buster Keaton, Harpo Marx and Mr Bean.. 'The Boy With Tape on His Face is utterly spectacular! Endlessly inventive, hysterically funny. Fight for a ticket' (Time Out). 'A truly magical experience' (www.chortle.co.uk) 'Wills makes a big noise by saying nothing at all' (The Evening Standard) 'Everyone should see The Boy with Tape on His Face' (The Daily Telegraph).
