Harrison started his own YouTube channel in 2011. Interestingly, at the time of creating the channel, he wasn’t sure of what he would be posting in the near future. In fact, he posted his first video, ‘1st Dare: Stuffing Marshmallows in my Mouth’, in an attempt to know how his viewers would react to it. Just as he suspected, the video initially failed to gain popularity.
A week later, he uploaded his second video titled, ‘Harrison Webb talks about Mornings’. Fortunately, his second video performed better in terms of its viewership when compared to the first video. This gave him the confidence to post more number of videos on the channel. He then went on to post prank videos that had victimized his friends and also some strangers.
His video on the 2011 London riots also became very popular. But the one that shot him to fame was the parody cover of the popular song, ‘What makes you Beautiful,’ by the famous band, ‘One Direction’.

Though he is one of the most popular British YouTube personalities, Harrison wants more out of his life and hence has his eyes set on a career in Hollywood.
