Content[]
Fraser is usually a bubbly and excitable person who is overly obsessed with curry and burritos. He streams on his Twitch channel every single Friday, with the occasional extra stream or two during the week. His popular "Big Friday Live Stream" is watched by regulars in his close community.
Personal Life[]
Fraser lives with his cuddly black German Shepherd dog "Beta". She is the cuddliest dog in the world who was originally destined to become a police dog. Unfortunately, she didn't quite make the cut and was dropped from police dog training. Fraser and his family couldn't resist seeing her go away after a few months of living with the family, so instead took her in and she has been part of the family ever since.
YouTube Career[]
Fraser’s initial introduction to content creation was back in 2009 when he started his first YouTube channel. To this day this channel remains a mystery, however he has mentioned when his current YouTube channel reaches 10,000 subscribers, he will reveal the name of the old channel along with its videos. Since then, his desire to entertain online has only grown, branching out into live content broadcasting, podcasting, as well as regular community events in the official FraserIRL Discord server, a fun place in which his fans form friendships!
Although Fraser has primarily been a YouTube gamer for most of his time on YouTube, some of his most popular videos unexpectedly gained more views than others. Fraser's current most popular video on the game "Papers, Please" exploded in popularity after jacksepticeye uploaded his Papers, Please playthrough. His second most popular video is an edit of a Peppa Pig episode that was created after Fraser saw someone else create a similar video memeing Peppa Pig. His current third most popular video is a 10 hour long video of video game character "McPixel" dryhumping a PlayStation 3 to Benny Hill music. This, infact, was one of the first videos he uploaded to his channel.
As well as this, on the week leading up to him moving house, Fraser gained approximately 1,000 subscribers in a single week after streaming on a daily basis throughout the week.
