A comedy show set to take Pyramid by storm, in October, received rave reviews from critics at this years Edinburgh's Fringe Festival, proving that this is one up and coming comedian not to be missed.

The Boy With Tape on His Face, a stand-up silent comedian, has been awarded four and five star reviews from some of comedy's biggest critics. The Guardian has described the show as 'the last word in silent comedy' and 'unmissable'.

Shoes sing, empty dresses dance and electrical tape blossoms into roses. The Boy With Tape On his Face creates a world of possibilities where the only certainty is laughter.

Drawing on a heritage that includes silent film, mime, magic, puppetry, Motown and the films of Patrick Swayze, The Boy With Tape On His Face is a pensive, curious soul approaching every object and audience member as a potential friend - or plaything.

Wordless, expressionless, he conjures the heart-rending poignancy of Buster Keaton and mingles it with mischief, piercing wit and triumphantly realised postmodern references that leave an audience enraptured.

The world is a globe, but for The Boy With Tape On His Face, it's a snowglobe.

Come inside - he'll shake it so you can watch the flakes swirl!

The Boy With Tape on His Face appears at Pyramid on Friday 8 October, 7.30pm, £10/£8
