TAPE FACE Tickets

Is Tape Face Worth It? Honest Review & Tips

Tape Face — Sam Wills, the silent New Zealander with tape over his mouth from America's Got Talent 2016 — runs his residency “House of Tape” in the Underground Theater at MGM Grand, a ~250-seat room one level below the casino floor. The act is wordless prop comedy built almost entirely on audience volunteers: he stares, the room laughs, someone gets pulled up, and ordinary objects become the funniest things you've seen without a single line of dialogue.

The no-language format makes it one of the few genuinely universal shows in town — all ages (3+ need a ticket, under-2s lap-sit), international groups, anyone. Two practical notes: the participation is constant and the front rows are the talent pool, so seat choice equals volunteering consent; and the schedule runs about six nights a week at 7:30 PM with dark nights that shift (typically Monday and/or Wednesday) plus occasional 4:30 weekend matinees — check your date. Tickets from about $57 with fees on current promos, regular face around $69.

Insider tipSeat strategy is everything: the front rows WILL be recruited — book them deliberately if that's the fun, rear-center if it isn't. The occasional 4:30 weekend matinee is the family sweet spot: same show, earlier bedtime.

Frequently asked questions

Does he really never speak?

Never — the entire show runs on mime, props, sound cues and the most expressive eyebrows in show business. That's also why it works for any language and any age: there's nothing to translate.

Will I get pulled on stage?

The front third of a 250-seat room is his casting pool, and volunteers carry major routines — some spend ten-plus minutes up there. Sit forward to volunteer, rear-center to watch safely.

What's the schedule?

About six nights a week at 7:30 PM (doors 7), with the dark nights shifting — typically Monday and/or Wednesday — plus occasional 4:30 PM weekend matinees. Verify your specific date on the calendar.

Is it good for kids?

One of the best in town — no language, no crude material, pure visual comedy. Kids 3+ need their own ticket, under-2s can lap-sit, and under-18s attend with an adult.

Where is the Underground Theater?

One level below the MGM Grand casino floor — follow the signs from the lobby, and give yourself ten extra minutes; the property is enormous. Parking is $20–25 with MGM's in-and-out privileges.
