YouTube streamer Darren "IShowSpeed" is known for his energetic personality and action-packed IRL streams, where he typically walks around discovering the cultures of different countries and cities. Speed has visited several countries, including India, Japan, Portugal, and most recently, Thailand. As Darren sat down for a fish pedicure in Pattaya City, he broke his live viewership record.
On September 10, the streamer achieved a peak concurrent viewership of over 615,000 live viewers. Speed was visibly shocked at the number of people watching him and said:
"What's my most [viewed] count? 548? I just beat it! We got 572,000, what the f*ck, this is my most viewed stream ever, what the f*ck! In Thailand though?.. Bruh what?".
Trending
On his first day, within the first hour of going live, Speed faced a few chaotic moments. He accidentally crashed a tuk-tuk (auto rickshaw) into a temple, but fortunately, no one was seriously injured. He also had some viral moments, such as interacting with a twerking elephant and sparring with a professional Muay Thai fighter.
IShowSpeed's country tours have always been popular on his channel. The streamer's third most-viewed stream came from his Europe trip broadcast in Poland in July 2024. At the time, he had over 309,000 concurrent live viewers watching him. Speed's adventures in Europe were incredibly successful, amassing over 2.5 billion views across multiple social media platforms.
IShowSpeed at the 2023 Ballon d'Or - Looking back on the streamer's previous record-breaking stream
On October 30, 2023, IShowSpeed broke his then-personal viewership record during his live stream at the 2023 Ballon d'Or ceremony, reaching over 500,000 concurrent viewers. Known for his passionate support of Cristiano Ronaldo, Speed was clearly disappointed when Lionel Messi won his eighth Ballon d'Or.
Despite the outcome, Speed turned the event into a memorable one by engaging with stars like Erling Haaland and creating viral moments. This stream marked a significant milestone in Speed's career, solidifying his influence in the world of sports and streaming.
IShowSpeed is currently on a Southeast Asia tour and is expected to visit countries like Vietnam, Cambodia, Malaysia, and Singapore.
