Fosh came on as a substitute and converted a penalty as the YouTube All-Stars beat Sidemen FC in a shootout. The event raised a record £6.2 million for charity.
The prank — renting land near Gatwick to erect misleading signage — made national press headlines and stirred controversy online.
To exploit a clause requiring proof of death for cash refunds, Fosh travelled to Italian micronation Seborga for a death certificate. The video hit over 2 million views within days and was picked up by The Independent.
His debut global stand-up run concluded in spring 2025, marking a significant expansion beyond YouTube into live performance.
The 90,000-capacity Wembley event raised £4.7 million for charities including BBC Children in Need. Fosh's yellow-card reaction went viral on social media.

Max Fosh is a British comedian and YouTuber whose work sits at the intersection of social experiment, high-concept prank, and sketch comedy. Based in the UK, he built a multi-million subscriber following through videos that involve genuine real-world infiltration — sneaking animals into competitive events, engineering outcomes at high-profile matches, or staging elaborate setups using professional resources (such as hiring Hollywood stuntmen as theatrical foils). His connection to the Sidemen's orbit, one of the UK's most prominent YouTube collectives, has appeared in several videos and signals comfortable access to the broader British creator ecosystem. His channel bio — 'subscribe if you're a silly billy' — is a reasonable shorthand for his editorial voice: absurdist but self-aware, never po-faced about its own ambition. His engagement rate runs meaningfully above category median, which reflects an audience that turns up for the format, not just the algorithm.
Despite his British roots, the majority of his viewership comes from the United States, India, and Indonesia, with the UK representing a smaller share of his total reach — a pattern typical of creators whose content travels well because it relies on visual spectacle and situation comedy rather than cultural specificity. His audience spans a wide age band, with the 18–34 cohort forming the core but substantial engagement from older demographics as well. His recent sponsor mix — Google DeepMind, NotebookLM, Google AI Studio, alongside privacy tools like Surfshark and Incogni — suggests brands see his audience as curious, digitally literate, and receptive to technology products. That positioning is somewhat unusual for a comedy-prank creator and likely reflects both his demographic's profile and his own evident comfort with tech-forward integrations. As AI and privacy tools compete aggressively for creator shelf space, Fosh's demonstrated ability to deliver high-engagement formats with a broad international footprint places him well for sustained brand interest in that category.
Max-Fosh reaches its audience primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, TikTok branded content. Their sponsorship history skews toward Gaming, a clear signal of fit for brands in those categories. Demonstrated partners include Notebooklm and Google AI Studio. Engagement on YouTube runs around 3.9%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

Yes — he commissioned professional Hollywood stuntmen specifically to make it look like he was beating them in a fight, which is the entire joke. It fits his recurring approach of spending real money and effort to set up a punchline that only pays off if the production looks completely convincing.
Yes, that is a real video on his channel — he put a child into an adult professional roast battle and documented what happened. The comedy comes entirely from the mismatch, which is a structure he returns to across a lot of his content.
