British YouTube sensation Max Fosh has revealed his latest project – finding someone who shares not just his birthday, but his birthplace as well.
The comedian and content creator is searching for individuals born on 3rd April 1995 at St Thomas’ Hospital in Westminster as he approaches his 30th birthday.
“I’m trying to find a needle in a haystack,” Fosh explained during his radio interview. “Every day around 10 babies are born in a given hospital. That’s the size of the needle. The haystack is 68 million people large.”
The project, which will be featured on his YouTube channel, shows Fosh employing creative methods including billboard advertising, celebrity endorsements, hospital flyer distribution, and media appearances to locate his birthday twins.
With over one billion YouTube views and more than 4.3 million subscribers, Fosh has built his reputation on quirky social experiments and pranks. His previous viral successes include teaching cowboys polo techniques and documenting what he describes as the world’s shortest legal marriage.
Currently wrapping up his global stand-up comedy tour ‘Loophole’, Fosh has performed 72 shows across 13 countries, selling over 45,000 tickets including a sold-out Hammersmith Apollo. The tour concludes in Australia this March.
Since launching his channel in 2016, the Harrow School and Newcastle University graduate has become known for stunts like placing a misleading “Welcome to Luton” sign near Gatwick Airport. His diverse career spans hosting BBC Radio 1’s “TikTok Takeover”, participating in charity football, and even standing as an independent candidate in London’s 2021 mayoral election.
Through this birthday project, he hopes to explore how people with identical beginnings can lead completely different lives over three decades. “I’m mainly just interested to know what they’ve been up to for the last 30 years,” Fosh said, adding with characteristic humour, “I also didn’t have any good ideas for my 30th party.”
