MCM Expo have recently announced seven great web series set to make a splash at VidfestUK this May, when their celebration of online video returns to London Comic Con.
YouTube favourites Tomska, Weebl’s Stuff, TimH and World Of The Orange, plus new shows The Great Day Of The Ugly Ones, Cops And Monsters and Life’s A Drag are the latest series to join Slomozovo’s Chris Bingham, ChewingSand’s Hazel Hayes and Unlocked creators Cheesemint Productions at VidfestUK 2014.
• TOMSKA – “Comedy and cartoons from Tom ‘Tomska’ Ridgewell with an audience of over 2,000,000 subscribers. When he’s not beating an animator with a stick to produce webtoons such as asdfmovie and Eddsworld, he’s flailing around with guns and pretending to be an action star.”
