  Since 1995, the Duct Tape Guys have been performing "breathtakingly stupid" comedy based on their best-selling (over 3 million sold) Duct Tape Book series. The Duct Tape Guys have appeared on nearly every television broadcast and cable network, on thousands of radio stations around the world and have entertained at consumer shows and corporate events around the world. 
WHAT THEY DO FOR YOU: Through their media appeal and marketing prowess, the Duct Tape Guys grab tons of additional publicity for your show. Then they provide unique, g-rated, all-age appeal, funny entertainment that is a tremendous crowd draw. Vendors appreciate this and show attendees have a great time.

The Central Washington Home Builders Association would highly recommend the Duct Tape Guys for your show. They were extremely professional and willing to help with all media. They also brought the traffic into the show like no other performer we have had that cost way more than their reasonable fee. The bang for the buck was definitely there for us.- Carly Faul, Executive Officer.
"You guys are the biggest crowd draw of our shows!" - Rob Lynch, President of Orchard Supply Hardware in reference to The Duct Tape Guys' appearances at their "How To Fairs" (the other regular performers are celebrities from PBS, HGTV, and various television and radio shows).
Thank you for being a part of our show. I enjoyed meeting both of you and thought your presentations were great. I'm happy to recommend The Duct Tape Guys to my colleagues across the country. - Sharon Gillberg | Director, Promotions & Special Events | Akron/Canton, OH, HBA

- WSNY, Columbus, OH
"Man, you guys are just plain nuts! Thank you! That was incredibly fun."

The Duct Tape Guys have been evangelizing the "Gospel of Duct Tape" since 1994. They're about to publish their eighth book (the title is still a secret). The Duct Tape Guys' stage show has been described as taking Abbot and Costello, Bob and Doug McKenzie, Bob Villa, Carrot Top and your weirdest uncles - binding the whole lot together with duct tape and dousing it with a liberal dose of bizarre creativity. It's fun for everyone!
The Duct Tape Guys have deemed themselves as "breathtakingly stupid" yet somehow have impressed corporate big wigs as being "sheer genius!" Why? These two ordinary guys have turned a common, humble household product into an over three million-copy bestselling publishing venture and create media frenzy wherever they go. They've entertained on radio, television and in front of live audiences all over North America and Europe for nearly two decades and are just now hitting their stride. Jim and Tim's G-rated comedy will both entertain you, and leave you thinking, "Why didn't I think of that!" Either that or, "These guys are absolutely nuts!"
