The Yogscast Family

The Yogscast Family is made up of a diverse bunch of talented, funny individuals who work tirelessly to make this all happen on a day-to-day basis. Below are the names, portraits, social media links and biographies of the whole team.

  • Lewis Brindley

    Xephos

    Lewis founded The Yogscast in 2008, with the goal of sharing Simon’s gift for inane banter with the world via YouTube. Since then, the channel has grown to become the largest in the UK, and Lewis has remained the de facto leader of the team - acting to balance Simon’s boldness with reason and caution.

  • Simon Lane

    Honeydew

    Simon is the creative force behind The Yogscast, known as the singer of “Diggy Diggy Hole” and “The Man of a Thousand Voices, all of which sound oddly similar”. Simon’s charm, wit and endearing silliness has ensured that The Yogscast’s popularity never wanes. Simon is the best!

  • Sparkles*

    Sparkles*

    Sparkles* was brought aboard the Good Ship Yogscast in late 2011 because no one knew how to captain the ship. Unfortunately it was all a case of mistaken identity, as he has never in fact held any formal naval titles.

He also manages Yogscast Studios, the record label arm of Yogs Incorporated.

When Sam is not moderating or working behind the scenes, he works as a Game Master for popular MOBA Heroes of Newerth. That, or he's fixing his hair.
