Dan Howell, commonly known as danisnotonfire, is a widely renowned British YouTuber. He’s tightly associated with his best friend, flatmate, and fellow YouTuber, Phil Lester. Dan has over 5.5 million subscribers and over 493 million views on his videos. A certain kind of viewer is needed to appreciate Dan’s sarcastic, witty, and ironic sense of humor. He has many accomplishments outside of YouTube, such as co-writing a New York Times Bestseller book called The Amazing Book is Not on Fire, completing a sold out UK tour for his book, releasing a gaming documentary on BBC, and co-hosting the Internet Takeover with Phil.

He uploads irregularly, but his videos are the best of quality. He truly puts a lot of work into his scripts, skits, and overall production. Dan strays away from uploading the “regular” Q and A style video and instead holds a livestream on Tuesdays at 4pm EST on younow.com. He answers questions that fans ask through the chat and talks about a wide variety of topics including music, TV shows, and recent pop culture events.

In addition, Dan maintains a gaming channel with Phil. This gaming channel is unique, though, in the way that it steers away from serious gaming and takes on a more lighthearted, fun approach. Even those who dislike gaming will find their videos funny and engaging. All in all, Dan is a well rounded YouTuber that is definitely worthy of checking out.
