Hundreds of thousands of people watch Brittlestar’s videos every week. 

His comedic and family-friendly videos have been seen more than 600 MILLION times on various platforms.  His KFC video campaign was the most popular branded video content in the world on Facebook for the summer of 2017. 

With a global fanbase, an invitation to the White House, speaking engagements all over North America, commentary segments on Global National, a panelist on CTV National News, starring in the Dreamworks TV show ‘Kid vs Parent’ with his youngest son, collaborations with celebs such as Ryan Reynolds, Gordon Ramsay and The Property Brothers, and meet-and-greets at PlaylistLive, Brittlestar is living the social media celebrity dream… not bad for a Dad from the suburbs. 

Brittlestar, or Stewart Reynolds (as his mom calls him when he’s in trouble), is the father of two young men, Owen (award winning podcast producer) and Gregor (social media personality and speaker). These three guys, along with Brittlestar’s wife, Shannon, have created viral videos for a variety of brands and organizations such as Disney, ESPN, Subway, CBC, Walmart, Kal Tire and others.
