Sam Wills (born 28 August 1978), is a New Zealand prop-comic residing in London. On stage he performs as The Boy with Tape on His Face, as half of the two-person act Spitroast, or simply as Sam Wills.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The Sam Wills )〕 He performs regularly on the New Zealand Comedy Circuit, has featured in the New Zealand International Comedy Festival〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Welcome to the NZ International Comedy Festival producers website )〕 and the World Buskers Festival. ==Biography== Sam Wills began his performing career in Timaru at the age of thirteen while he trained as an apprentice clown. He has since mastered a diverse range of performance styles and skills. He holds a diploma in New Circus from Christchurch Polytechnic Institute of Technology's Circus School where he has taught juggling there for two years. His interest in the phenomenon of traditional circus freak shows and influences such as the Jim Rose Circus and the Tokyo Shock Boys led to experiments with shock comedy, earning him his first Pulp Comedy appearance, the Best New Face award for the 2001 season, and the title ‘Prince of Cringe’ from Truth and TV Extra magazine. Until 2001, Wills was a driving force in the Christchurch entertainment scene, featured at balls, private functions and corporate events; running weekly comedy nights and appearing on local television. January 2002 saw him move to Auckland to become resident comedian at the casino in SKYCITY Auckland. His weekly show, the NCB Comedy Hour, is now in its fourth year and continues to push the boundaries of comedy performance with its blend of circus skill and vaudeville style. In March 2008, Wills took his show ''The Boy With Tape On His Face'' to the Melbourne Comedy Festival, where it received great critical acclaim. After Melbourne, he moved to London. Wills met his wife-to-be, English burlesque performer Felicity Redman (also known as Lili La Scala), in 2007. They got engaged during the 2008 World Buskers Festival in Christchurch. They had a "symbolic wedding" on 9 January 2009 in Christchurch as a start to that year's World Buskers Festival in the same spot on the banks of the Avon River where they got engaged a year earlier. This was followed by a legal wedding later that year in England. Their first son, Rafferty Basil Danger Wills, was born in January 2013.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sam Wills」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
