'''Joseph Garrett''' (born 13 December 1990), better known as '''Stampylonghead''', '''Stampylongnose''', '''Stampy Cat''', or simply '''Stampy''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|s|t|æ|m|p|i}}), is an English YouTuber, actor, and author best known for his ''Minecraft'' video game commentaries as the character of Stampy Cat. He is well known for his child-friendly demeanour and incorporating storytelling and education into the Let's Play format. In 2014, he was one of the ten most-watched YouTube channels in the world.
In 2015 Garrett created a scripted edutainment series called ''Wonder Quest'' in collaboration with Maker Studios and Disney. The show was filmed in ''Minecraft'' and features educational content designed for children to watch in school. It aired two seasons from 2015 to 2016. Garrett has voiced the Stampy character in the video game ''Minecraft: Story Mode'' and has made guest appearances on several television programmes with CBBC and Disney XD. He has also released two children's books, and is in the process of writing a series of young adult novels.
