  If you've seen any episodes of Slightly off Script, you will have come across a man named 'The Durham Vlogger.' Well, he is exactly that - a vlogger from Durham. The Durham Vlogger's YouTube Banner. Kev started his channel on the 19th August 2021, with his earliest video, uploaded on the same day, being  a video of him exploring Wharton Park, Durham. On the same day, he also uploaded a video of him and Mrs B ("Bridlington and Premier Inn review") of him walking around Bridlington.  Bridlington and Premier Inn Review thumbnail Of course, the Durham Vlogger is famous for his local food reviews.
