YouTuber on hunt for birthday partner born on same day in same hospital as him
Max Fosh, 29, a YouTuber with more than four million followers, decided to set himself the ultimate needle in a haystack challenge ahead of his milestone birthday.
Born at St Thomas' Hospital on April 3 1995, he is hoping to mark the occasion with a reunion made up of others who were born on that day in the same hospital.
'I want to know who these people are! I want to know what lives they've led,' he told the PA news agency.
'I felt like it was a fun challenge and also I had no plans for my 30th, so I've got nothing better to do really.'
His YouTube bio reads 'subscribe if you're a silly billy' and features such videos as 'I Hatched A Fish From Supermarket Caviar' and his most popular video 'I Made Tourists Think They Landed At The Wrong Airport' which has 16 million views.
Fosh's latest challenge has already seen him appear on Radio One with Greg James, but despite the host's enthusiasm for the project, it has yet to bear fruit.
'We were on Radio One this morning (February 13), and I haven't heard anything,' he said.
'Greg replied and said there was a lot of silly nonsense going on, so I don't think any solid leads just yet.
'I'm going to try a few different angles, and getting it out as far and wide as possible is one of them. But I really have no idea whether this is going to work or not.'
The YouTuber has booked a function room at St Thomas' Hospital where he will hope to host his fellow birthday twins on April 3.
'So if no one turns up, it will just be me with some very sad balloons,' he said.
'I'm sure there's going to be some awkward chit chat like, 'right, start at the beginning. What did you do for your first birthday?'.'
Asked what message he would like to send to anyone who shares his exact birthday and birthplace, Fosh said: 'Come on down! I'll make sure I get nice Waitrose squeaky sausages.'

Derek Carr returns to football in new role three months after New Orleans Saints QB retired at age 34
Derek Carr is back involved with the NFL, only three months removed from his shocking retirement from football as part of YouTube 's inaugural league broadcast in a few weeks. The former New Orleans Saints quarterback will be an in-studio analyst for the second game of the NFL season between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers. Carr will be based in California for the game, and not in Sao Paulo, Brazil, where the NFL has journeyed for the second straight year. The 34-year-old officially retired on May 10 due to a labral tear and 'significant degenerative changes to his rotator cuff.' Playing through the injury and surgery were also considered as options for the longtime NFL quarterback before he decided to step away from his playing career. Also in the Los Angeles-based studio for pre-game analysis will be former NFLers Brandon Marhsall and Tyrann Mathieu, as well as Peter Overzet. In the booth for Chargers-Chiefs will be Rich Eisen on play-by-play commentary, alongside former NFL quarterback Kurt Warner as the game analyst. Terry McAulay will be the rules analyst, with Rene Giraldo and Edgar Lopez handling the Spanish commentary. On the sidelines for the game will be YouTube creator Deestroying, combining with the website that helped make him famous in this venture into the NFL, as well as commentator Stacey Dales. Kay Adams and Cam Newton will be the lead analysts to make the trek to Brazil for pregame and postgame talk. Dales and Deestroying will also join the duo after the AFC West battle wraps up. The game will kick off on Sept. 5 at 8 pm with no subscription required. It will also be available on YouTube TV in the United States. Carr played for 11 seasons in the NFL, with his first nine coming with the Raiders before signing with the Saints.

This week, the video dropped was a new edition of 20 vs 2, which included mostly women coming face to face with a couple of Sidemen. In a voiceover introducing the video, which ran for more than an hour and 20 minutes in total, KSI says: "Welcome to 20 vs 2. We have two Americans, Marlon and Lacy. They will both have to agree which of the 20 girls they would like to say yes and no to." If the duo both said yes to a girl, they would take part in the next section of the video. This would be in the form of an impromptu date. However, the girl chooses who of the two they would rather go on a date with. While this happens, six others watch on including Josh, Harry, Vik, KSI, Tobi, Ethan and Simon. Each of them have the opportunity to tell Marlon and Lacy what to do like mini challenges. Whether it be how they act or what they say. One person that was involved in both segments on the video and was popular with the Sidemen and viewers alike during her appearance was 35-year-old Anita. It turns out she is a major online personality in her own right, known as Sweet Anita. She has around 1.5 million subscribers on YouTube and claims to have more than 4 million followers across all her social channels. This includes Twitch, X, Instagram and Facebook. Anita herself commented on the video, thanking for the invitation to be involved in the Sidemen's video. In her post she said: "Lacy was such a good boy! Thanks for having me." It didn't go unnoticed by fans who were quick to reply themselves. It received the most interactions of any comment with more than 200 replies and 27,000 thousand likes.

Another added: "I love your vibe and energy, you're so unique." while a different account replied: "Anita , you made the vid, hilarious." Anita also has Tourette's. She has regularly shared clips and videos talking about her experiences of her condition and how it impacts her life on YouTube and on her social pages.

My Festival Sam Kissajukian
Six months, 300 paintings, one man's mental state. We caught up with Sam Kissajukian ahead of the Fringe show that documents them all. Sign up to our Arts and Culture newsletter, get the latest news and reviews from our specialist arts writers Sign up Thank you for signing up! Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... There are thousands of shows in Edinburgh this month. Please tell us why we should come and see yours. It's actually really tough because there are five other shows at Summerhall about a guy who made 300 paintings in a cake factory during a six-month manic episode. Who or what was the biggest inspiration for your show? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The late Richard Artschwager, a New York artist who did the most unlikely variety of mediums. His exhibitions were equal measure incredible and frustrating. Who or what are you most excited about seeing this year? Maddie and Marina Bye's show Siblings: Dreamweavers. I've seen it twice. I'm going again. Funniest show I've seen to date. It genuinely makes me happy. Who do you most like spending time with in Edinburgh? Any performer after they've had a technical disaster show. It's very bonding to be around someone who's had their dreams temporarily crushed by QLab. What is the best review you've had? And the worst? There's a guy who has a YouTube channel where he reviews shows and decides whether they are boring or confusing. He said my show was boring but not confusing. I just love the idea of someone detailing their six-month manic episode and you just yell 'BORING!'. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad What will we learn from your show that we didn't know before? Before what? Who's we? And what don't you know? I'm very confused. But not bored. Tell us something about you that would surprise people. When I was 17, I was ranked first in Australia at Magic: The Gathering. I won a bunch of money and wanted to turn pro. My parents forbade it and made me go to university. Joke's on them, eight years at university and now I do finger paintings. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad What are the best and worst things that have happened to you at a festival? A wonderful gentleman offered to show me his kaleidoscope collection. Outside of performing, I spend most of my time painting alone in the dark. So, at the festival, I enjoy meeting everyone and stealing energy from upbeat performers. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad What's the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night? This festival, I had two evicted clowns crashing in my living room. They had a show at midnight and mine was midday. So, I asked when they came in late if they could be quiet. They made a game of it, they told me they spent all day practising how to be silent: lowering water from the sink tap by hand and moving slowly without raising their feet. At night, I could hear them sliding around the apartment giggling and shooshing each other. It made me feel like a curmudgeon. So, I tied a bunch of bottles to a string that went across the hallway to the door handle. When they came in that night, the bottles clanged and I gave a good 'Shhhhhhhhh!'. Thanks for the interview! We'd like to buy you a drink. Where are we going and what are we drinking? Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad I was quite touched by this offer, but then I found out that you've been asking all the other performers the same question Sam Kissajukian's show 300 Paintings is at Summerhall, 12:05pm, until 25 August. An accompanying exhibition, Paintings to Sleep On, is also on show in Summerhall's In Vitro Gallery.
