who are the sidemen

The Sidemen are a group of seven British YouTubers and internet personalities who turned their long‑time friendship into one of the biggest online entertainment brands in the world.

Who the Sidemen are

• The Sidemen (often stylized SDMN) are a UK-based content collective formed around 2013 from friends who originally played games like Grand Theft Auto Online and FIFA together.

• The group is known for high‑energy challenge videos, game shows, travel specials, and gaming content that together pull in hundreds of millions of views across multiple channels.

Members and aliases

• KSI – Olajide “JJ” Olatunji
• Miniminter – Simon Minter
• Zerkaa – Joshua Bradley
• TBJZL / Tobjizzle – Tobi Brown
• Wroetoshaw / W2S – Harry Lewis
• Vikkstar123 – Vikram “Vik” Barn
• Behzinga – Ethan Payne

These seven make up the core Sidemen lineup and appear across the group’s shared channels as well as their own individual ones.

What they create

• Their main group channel focuses on big, highly produced concepts such as mock dating shows, game shows, and travel challenges, often running close to feature‑length.

• Other channels feature more relaxed or gaming‑style videos, letting viewers see more of their individual personalities through trivia games, football content, and online multiplayer sessions.

Beyond YouTube

• The Sidemen have expanded into long‑form projects, including The Sidemen Show on YouTube Premium and later a Netflix documentary, The Sidemen Story , which charts their rise and cultural impact.

• They have also moved into reality‑style game shows such as Inside , plus businesses like clothing and food brands, building what is often described as a multimillion‑dollar creator empire.
