The Tape Face Tapes- Tellyland record
Hello there,
We have been working on a very fun project and now is your chance to be involved.
The Silent Ones Group have already had the details but now it’s time for everybody to get in on it!
We are making a pilot for a Tape Face television show and we are now onto the part of the show that is set in a comedy club and we are looking for an audience of people who are interested in comedy and know a bit about live shows rather than just renting an audience.
We will be filming at Hoxton Hall on the 25th of February.
Hoxton Hall
130 Hoxton street
London
N1 6SH
Show starts 7.30pm – finished by 9:00pm (we hope)
So we would need you there by 7pm at latest to guarantee entry.
This will be a R18 event.
If you are interested in being there send an email to….
no message is required and if you require another ticket we need you to get that person to send an email as well
We will send out an email later on this week to those who make contact.
Please only send an email if you can 100% make it on the night.
This will be fun indeed.

2012 Tour now Onsale
We are now at the end of the 2011 tour of Tape Face 1 and that can mean only a couple of things.
One is that it means the final tour show at the Arosa Festival is coming up soon, so a circus tent up a mountain covered in snow is a great way to end a tour!
Two is that we are very pleased to announce that due to public demand we will be hitting the road in 2012 for the spring tour of “The Boy with Tape on His Face”
This will possible be the final time we will be touring the UK with the first show as we are currently fine tuning the “second show” and getting it super sorted for Edinburgh 2012 and then we will be sending T2 out onto the road to entertain even more people a whole new show full of silent comedy antics.
Full tour listings are on the gigs page so click there and see if we are playing near you! If we are not the drop us a line and we will see what we can do for you in the next tour.

Hello,
Well I suppose it is about time I told everybody about what is coming up! I am very excited!!
The Boy is lucky enough to be working with the BBC and a lovely company called Smesh who have built a huge wall that shows off tweets from people
You can see in this picture A lovely comedian called Phill Ellis, He will be a part of the show as well, but if you look above him you will see a massive tweet on a screen and this is what I would like you to have on the night.
Your tweet will take center stage!
We are going to be having a Quiz show with of about 300 people tweeting in answers to questions but I don’t want you to miss out on the wall so just before the show starts I will tweet out some pictures of some props and then during the show I will tweet out again asking you for suggestions. Most of these suggestions will be for us to “do” something to Phill and we will then do our best to deliver the goods back to you!
The show takes place on the 9th of November at 8:00pm but I will be tweeting more from the venue that day showing you stuff as we build it and get ready.
I do hope that you have an hour to spare tweeting in some suggestions and I look forward to seeing what happens onstage.
More updates will be coming along on twitter where you can find me as @tapefaceboy
See you at the show!

The Royal Albert Hall.
I recently got to be a part of the first Comedy Proms at The Royal Albert Hall. I think this will be a show that I will remember for quite a while..
I was also asked to play drums for another part of The Proms and secretly carried a camera in my top pocket, the footage will be with The Silent Ones in the next couple of days. It’s very strange and kind creepy.

The Fringe has ended but everything else keeps going!
The 2011 Fringe has come to a close but a world of odds and end keep ticking along! The 2011 tour is about to get underway and please keep your photos of yourself “not” being the boy as plans are coming together for this as well.
The comedy Proms was a big success and the coverage we got during the fringe has made even more people of this strange Boy with Tape lurking in the UK.
Will get some more news in a bit but now The Boy needs to smell a cup of coffee.
