Thomas Simons (born 9 April 2004), better known as TommyInnit ( /ˈtɒmiˌɪnɪt/ TOMM-ee-inn-it [2]), is an English YouTuber and Twitch streamer. He produces Minecraft-related videos and live streams, including collaborations with fellow YouTubers and streamers in the Dream SMP. [3] [4] Joining the Dream SMP caused his YouTube and Twitch channels to increase in popularity. [5] As of 24 April 2023 [update], his eleven YouTube channels have collectively reached over 27.74 million subscribers [a] and over 2.82 billion views; [b] [6] his two Twitch channels have reached over 9.02 million followers, [c] making him the most-followed Minecraft channel on Twitch, [7] as well as the 16th most-followed overall. [8] [9]
Thomas Simons [7] [10] was born in Nottingham, England, [11] on 9 April 2004. [12] During secondary school, Simons cheated on some of his mock examinations. The COVID-19 pandemic caused these grades to be counted as his official GCSE grades, as well as some of his lower grades to be rounded up to be significantly higher. [13]
Simons created his first YouTube channel, Channelnutpig, on 15 February 2013 [14] and his TommyInnit channel on 24 December 2015. [15] He uploaded his first video on his TommyInnit channel in September 2018. [16] Simons typically uploads videos consisting of him playing Minecraft.
On 6 August 2019, Simons uploaded his first video relating to SkyBlock, a minigame on Minecraft server Hypixel. [17] On 4 July 2020, Simons joined the Dream SMP, [18] [19] a roleplay-focused Minecraft server run by YouTuber Dream. [20]
On 1 April 2021, Simons created a new YouTube channel under his own name, [21] uploading the first video onto it two months later. [22]
Simons began streaming on Twitch in late 2018, where he regularly streams Minecraft and " Just Chatting".
On 20 January 2021, Simons live streamed the finale of the Dream SMP, titled The Dream SMP Finale, which peaked at over 650,000 viewers, making it the third-highest all-time concurrent viewer livestream on Twitch, overtaking Ninja's Fortnite collaboration with Drake. [23] [24] [25] His streaming ventures would then earn him two Guinness World Records, [7] claimed with the help of content creator Jack Welsh for "most viewers of a Minecraft gameplay live stream on Twitch" and "most followed Minecraft channel on Twitch."
On 1 July 2022, Simons performed a live special at the Brighton Dome, titled TommyInnit & Friends. [26] The show included many other popular internet personalities, including DanTDM, Jacksepticeye, JackManifoldTV, Nihachu, and others, [27] as well as a tribute to Technoblade, [27]: 1:02:45 whose death was announced early the same day. [28] [29] [d]
On 4 August 2022, Simons announced a book that he had been writing with fellow YouTuber and Twitch streamer Wilbur Soot titled TommyInnit Says...The Quote Book. [30] The book was released on 13 October 2022. [31] All of the sales money from the book is being donated to sarcoma advocacy charities in honour of Simons' and Gold's late friend Technoblade, [32] to whom the book was also dedicated. [33]
During 7–24 June 2023, Simons performed a live show across the UK, titled TommyInnit: Annoying At First, with fellow content creators JackManifoldTV and Badlinu. [34] On 5 May 2023, Simons held a one-off sketch comedy show at The Old Market in Hove, England. [35] [36] [37] On 12 December 2023 Tommy announced 'Tommyinnit: How To Be A Billionaire' the United States tour beginning on 12 March and ending on 25 April 2024. [38] [39]
Simons has lived in Brighton since January 2022 having previously lived in Nottingham.
On 19 November 2022, Simons released a video on his main YouTube channel, announcing to his audience that he has a girlfriend. Her face and real name were not revealed. She instead was given the nickname "Em". [40] On 6 May 2023, Simons uploaded a video titled "Minecraft, But My Girlfriend Face Reveals...", in which his girlfriend's face and real name, Molly, were revealed. [41]
