Joseph Garrett is an English YouTube commentator who posts videos about the game Minecraft as the character Stampy Cat. In 2014, Garrett's was one of the ten most watched YouTube channels in the world.
The channel is aimed at children, and his audience is largely 6 to 14-year-olds. As the character of Stampy Cat, an orange and white cat, Garrett tells stories within Minecraft and other games. He gives viewers ideas for activities to pursue with their friends. Garrett describes the character as "a bigger, brighter, better version" of himself. He receives correspondence from his viewers and thinks they see him as a friend, rather than "a presenter in a studio". Other characters in the videos include iBallisticSquid, played by Garrett's friend David Spencer.
Garrett studied video production at university and initially intended to be a games journalist. His early YouTube work consisted of "Let's Play" videos which he made for his own amusement. When he noticed that his primary audience was children, he reoriented his work to be family-friendly. When the videos became popular, Garrett left his job as a barman to focus on producing the content full-time.
On 25 April 2015, Garrett launched a spinoff educational YouTube channel in collaboration with Maker Studios. The series, Wonder Quest, is scripted, professionally produced, and designed so that it can be used in classrooms. Garrett has also been attached to a Minecraft film. In July 2015, he appeared on the series premiere of the Disney XD show Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything where he portrays the announcer Stampy Cat at the World Gaming Championships.
Death
On Sun Oct 4, 2015 he died of an aneurysm in the brain.
