What You Need To Know About The Boy With Tape On His Face

Tape Face Official Facebook Page

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.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

2. So you stress.

3. And cry.

4. Then call your mom to cry some more.

5. After the pep talk, you feel determined to get everything done.

6. But, now you're tired.

7. And really hungry.

8. Suddenly, it's 2 a.m. and you have only written three sentences and your paper is due in the morning.

9. You've made it to Friday... somehow.

10. Then Sunday hits and you find yourself back at the Lib.

11. So you cry some more.

12. But, you fight through the tears to get everything done because you're determined.

13. In the end, you feel on top of the world because you made it through the last week of class alive.

14. But, now it's finals week so good luck.
