Shane Dawson is an incredibly popular Youtuber, currently the third most subscribed youtuber overall. Strange, witty and Genre Savvy, his ability to mock himself and others and comedic skills have led to his massive following. He plays both fictionalised versions of himself and an assortment of strange, mentally ill characters, many of whom are inspired by people he knows. His work Crosses the Line Twice and is Refuge in Audacity / Refuge in Vulgarity.
