If you’ve been watching this season of the NBC talent show, "America’s Got Talent", you might have noticed a unique comedian, who goes by the name of Tape Face.

Tape Face’s first audition was unexpected. You didn’t know what he was going to do. He didn’t talk and he had this look of an “emo boy” with a striped shirt, a grey jacket, jeans, and converse. He did two act segments. The first one was with the song “Endless Love” by Lionel Richie and Diana Ross and he put on two oven mitts that lip-synch the song. Then, he did an act with the 80s song “Lady In Red” by Chris de Burgh. Just look at the video below it’s easier to watch than explain.

Anyways, Tape Face made it to the judges cuts and again you kind of got an idea what he does from his audition, but you never knew what he was going to do. You were in for a surprise.

So who is this guy? Well it turns out that Tape Face has been doing shows in Europe for along time, but what’s his name? There are YouTube videos of Tape Face’s real identity, but I will leave it up to you weather you want to look him up and find out.

Tape Face’s talent is unique. He’s a silent comedian that seems to have the influences of Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin. Simon Cowell has said that Tape Face reminds him of Mr.Bean.

Tape Face takes something so simple and makes it funny. He seems to use a lot of songs that are notable and everyone knows as part of his act. Tape Face is actually one of the most popular contestants on this season’s of "America’s Got Talent". He has quite the following on social media too. Fans are creating fan art of Tape Face and posting them on Instagram and Twitter. Fans are even dressing up as Tape Face.

His slapstick comedy influence is drawling in a lot new fans young and old. He’s a comedian who doesn’t have to involve current affairs or politics into his acts. He just uses audience members, random objects, and notable songs and it’s funny and entertaining. Tape Face may actually go really far whether he wins "America’s Got Talent" or not.

For a bonus, here’s his recent performance that got him to the semifinals on AGT.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
