Tape Face: 20

Celebrating 20 years of Tape Face, the show celebrates where this worldwide journey began. Mime with noise, stand-up with no talking – drama with no acting. Las Vegas headliner Tape Face has become a global sensation. See the critically award-winning show that started it all. Physical comedy, mime and silent stand-up collide in an unforgettable performance that will leave you laughing, gasping and lost for words. Tape Face has to be seen to be believed.

★★★★★ 'Sublime physical lunacy... fight for a ticket' (Time Out).

★★★★★'A delight from start to finish' (Scotsman).
