Followed by a user who wrote, "Oh Lord Tape Face creeps me out every time he comes on."

A user went on to say, "Oh, no!!!"

Tape Face brings Simon Cowell on stage on 'AGT: Fantasy League'

During his performance on 'AGT: Fantasy League' the stand-up comic Tape Face from Team Mel B brought Simon Cowell on the stage.

The two of them together on the stage ended up creating hilarious chaos.

At one point, Tape Face blindfolded Cowell and proceeded to play a game of cup-and-ball, earning a round of applause from the audience.

However, Cowell looked shocked as he was unaware of what had occurred on the stage.

Seeing Cowell and Tape Face on the stage of 'AGT: Fantasy League' together might have been one of the best moments of the show.

Who is Tape Face in real life?

Sam Wills is the official name of Tape Face who was born on August 28, 1978, in Timaru, New Zealand.

Tape Face is a comic, busker, clown, and mime artist. 

Wills is also well-known as The Boy With Tape On His Face.

Wills started his journey as a busker in Christchurch when he won the Press People's Choice Award at the World Buskers Festival in 2008 and used the prize money to create his highly successful show, The Boy with Tape on His Face.

The show was a global sensation, selling out everywhere and earning numerous five-star reviews.

Over the years, Sam has performed in renowned theaters in the UK, such as the Edinburgh Fringe and the Royal Albert Hall.

Whenever Wills brings his non-verbal comedy shows to Christchurch for the World Buskers Festival, they always sell out.

Wills was given his first big break by Jodi Wright, the former director of the World Buskers' event.

Since then, Tape Face has worked hard and made a name for himself in the industry. 

The 'AGT' Season 11 finalist created a unique and captivating show that combines clever humor, mime, and drama with minimal dialogue and acting.

Now, Tape Face is best noted for taping his mouth during performances to create the illusion of silence and seldom gives interviews to maintain this image.
