YouTube Career

Alex began posting vlogs to a small audience mainly composed of his family and friends but soon after his audience slowly increased as he began to interact with the YouTube Community. Later on his fanbase grew to rapid numbers once he began the video series Alex Reads Twilight; as a result, he has become the most subscribed comedian in the UK.
World Vision Vloggers
In 2010 Alex and two other popular YouTube vloggers were selected to visit Zambia where they will experience the life there and post Vlogs about the experience of living within those conditions. This had a very positive impact on the YouTube Community and encouraged many viewers to sponsor children in poorer areas.

Sons Of Admirals
