Colin Furze (born 14 October 1979[2]) is a British YouTuber, engineer, and inventor from Stamford, Lincolnshire.
Furze left school to become a plumber until he performed on the Sky1 programme Gadget Geeks. Furze has since used his plumbing and engineering experience to build many unconventional contraptions, including a hoverbike, a wall of death, a jet-powered motorcycle made with pulsejet engines, and the world's fastest mobility scooter, pram, and dodgem. These are typically broadcast on YouTube where he celebrates subscriber milestones with increasingly extravagant fireworks.
Projects that have been sponsored include a spring-loaded hidden blade and grappling hook from Assassin's Creed, an artificial-turf-covered BMW E30 containing a hot tub and barbecue grill, and a bunker underneath his back garden to promote Sky1's television series You, Me and the Apocalypse.
