Alex Clark (born February 1, 1985) is an American YouTube animator, juggler, and comedian, based in Los Angeles, California.[1] His YouTube channel, itsAlexClark, features humorous animated videos depicting moments from his life, documentaries about his road trips, and many other types of videos.[2][3] As a YouTuber, he is partnered with Studio71,[2] and his channel was nominated for a Streamy Award for best animated YouTube channel.[4] He is also known for his career as a live street performer, whose acts combine comedy and juggling.[1][2] A graduate of Emerson College,[5] he was trained by the Groundlings and Cirque du Soleil.[3] His comedic juggling act led to him being named the Hot Variety Act of 2014 by Campus Activities Magazine.[6] In March 2018, a video he made explaining gun control by analogy to cats attracted media attention. The video was made shortly before – and included a link to – the March for Our Lives later that month.[7][8][9] In June 2018, he was one of several YouTube celebrities to be featured in the BroadbandTV video game Squad Rivals.[10]
