Daz Black (born 7 August 1985), sometimes known as Daz Games, is an English YouTuber known for his gaming and reaction videos, as well as his early content on video sharing platform, Vine.

Life and career

Black was born on 7 August 1985,[2] grew up in Hastings,[3] and worked in construction before opening his social media accounts.[4] After opening an acount on Vine in April 2013,[5] he went viral that year after uploading "Girls With Annoying Laughs" to the platform.[6] At the time of Vine's closure in 2017, he had over three million followers and his videos had more than a billion views, making him the most followed British creator on the app.[7] Some of his most popular videos were his comedy sketch of Keeping Up with the Kardashians and a video titled "Happy Cloud."[8]

In 2016, after YouTuber Marina Joyce caused concern after presenting strangely in a video, he tweeted that he had spoken to her and that she was fine.[9] He then appeared in the film Kill Ben Lyk in 2018[10] and in the music video for I Prevail's song "Gasoline" in 2019.[11][12] A 2021 episode of The Wheel that featured him as an expert attracted odium when it was repeated in February 2022,[13] by which time he had appeared in an episode of E4's Suped Up Set Up.[14] A diatribe against misogynist influencer Andrew Tate Black had uploaded to YouTube went viral that year, leading many to credit it with prompting social media platforms to delete his accounts.[15][16]

By 2023, Black had amassed eight million subscribers on YouTube; that year, he partnered with Alton Towers to create the AI-inspired escape room Panic.[17][18] In 2024, Black announced a United States tour, spanning 23 cities across the country, including Los Angeles, Chicago and San Francisco.[4] That November, Black co-hosted a five-and-a-half-hour Halloween themed stream for Rays of Sunshine, raising more than £22,000 in the process.[19] By August 2025, his channel had begun featuring ghost hunting.[20] He has also appeared as himself in Eddie the Eagle and Brotherhood.[5]
