From streaming RuneScape to hosting successful game shows on Twitch, meet the latest member of 100 Thieves, Austin Show
The Twitch streamer was interested in becoming an entertainer from his childhood days. He talks about his family’s collective influence and how supportive they were in providing him the infrastructure to be successful. While Love or Host might be Austin’s most successful show, his streaming career started in 2013 with RuneScape.
“I have never been good with video games, and I felt like RuneScape offered an opportunity for me to entertain people without needing much skill in gaming.”
Austin goes into detail about how Twitch was strictly for gaming content when he first started. In 2018, he had to deal with the crossroads of whether to continue streaming or pursue another career path. Noting that Twitch didn’t have any structured programs then, he ultimately decided to create his own game shows.
“I love the idea of bringing on random people from the audience, watching them interact in front of a large crowd. And it turned out to be really successful.”
Speaking of Love or Host, Austin says setting up the show and being familiar with many of the personalities is what he likes the most. But according to him, the most rewarding part is the audience’s reception. He also opens up about his personal life, explaining his decision to come out about his sexuality and the challenges he faced.
Having joined 100 Thieves, the 27-year-old expresses his excitement for the future that lies ahead. While he enjoys producing his shows, one of his goals is to be in front of the camera more. He looks forward to collaborating with some of the best lifestyle and gaming content creators while continuing to entertain fans.
