I Almost Quit.

Hey I almost quit YouTube just before the KSI Vlog enjoying my Minecraft mod videos I was about to delete my channels and log off forever why why would I leave at the height of it all why haven’t I talked about it before well hey let’s uh sit down and have a chat

Tom a Tom talk a Tom talk a year ago I did my first live show I didn’t want to at all it was meant to just be a talent show Vlog like the Minecraft one I did come let’s play in real life but it ended up

Being the best night of my life after some really really [ __ ] news seeing you all there with my best friends telling my best jokes it was exactly what I wanted I don’t know what it is maybe you guys could tell all along but I realized

My new dream is being up on a stage in a room with you guys which is weird you know I’m a YouTuber I didn’t expect how Bloody extroverted I’d become I used to just sit in my room playing Hypixel and now all I want to do is be a comedian

Listen it’s a pretty huge turn in life but it turns out to do this you can’t just wing it even if I managed to bring my way into a Lovejoy stage a few times listen you can’t do that in the big leagues now you have no idea how scuffed

This show was the ax hadn’t shown up until an hour before I insisted on doing a lightsaber Jewel like a day before no one knew their lines my God the fact that we pulled it off was a miracle ever since that evening I’ve relentlessly dreamed about being up there too much

It’s weird finding a thing you love this much finding your thing but I’m glad I have you know I never thought something I love as much as YouTube all women so I wanted to take things more seriously now get a divorce from M and remarry the

Grind now look I know you can just do a show where you sit and they chat and tell jokes people will probably be fine with that but I won’t be I’ve never been able to dig my fingers into the chill side of things whether it be streaming

Videos anywhere I gotta go Max ever give it my all just stay up all night working on it so I spend five months writing basically a two hour YouTube video seeing to exactly what extent I can push things before you know they’re not allowed and this has resulted in

Probably the funniest thing I’ve ever made like real songs and puppets and underpaying Jack manifold to play my dad seriously it’s great I’m very proud of it so look a very funny show about how to be a YouTuber that’s great kid well done but I figured let’s take it one

Step further let’s drop the ACT drop all of this I just turn off my yeah two years ago I got a call from dream telling me I need to lock my Windows shut my doors and prepare for the worst I didn’t know what you meant I was [ __ ] freaked out

He told me that people were coming for me this isn’t a joke and I’d have to [ __ ] prepare we stayed in that call for hours I don’t I think I might be the most scared I’ve ever been as well dream spoke to my parents you let them know

The situation and they understood but they couldn’t even lie to me they were pretty [ __ ] scared too I wasn’t even 18 and this [ __ ] was happening after a few hours I left that call and went to bed and that is when they arrived at my house now the rest of the story

I can’t talk about on the internet one it puts me in danger again but two like illegally I’ve never been able to talk about it I just can’t but as it turns out there’s a loophole I’m allowed to in person so when I finally realized this I

Knew what the show was going to be about what it’s like to be a YouTuber every last aspect from growing up to going to college and suddenly being on the newspaper for being a millionaire especially the bits every other YouTuber leaves out and only talks about privately I got to 10 million

Subscribers when I was a kid and online it was a great meme but in real life some serious [ __ ] happened dude so for the first time playing the floodgates open telling you all the real you most of it is funny all of it coming to these cities around the UK and

I want you guys to be there I want you to hear the story and I promise you it’ll be worth your while now another cool last thing if this sells I’ll be able to take the tour to America and Australia and everywhere next year while doing that film so many Vlogs too make

So many new videos and meet so many new people celebrate so much content for so long I usually spend a week on YouTube videos so spending five months on this [ __ ] it’s sick this is the best and most important project I’ve ever worked on and you should get tickets it’ll be sick

And I want to see you all there together because we’ll have the best night ever just because there’s mental too as well look it’s real the venues Nottingham on June 7th where I’m from Sheffield Glasgow Manchester Newcastle Wolverhampton Plymouth Bournemouth Brighton yes Cardiff bath and the London
