He has gained a sizeable audience on the internet with his comedy videos. As an actor, he has performed at many venues, including the Pittsburgh Civic Light Opera, Joe’s Pub, the Abrons Art Center, and the Signature Theatre. He is a body positivity activist, and professes that he spreads love through “music and weirdness and general odd behaviour”.

Since his first video, The Monster Energy Lip Sync, which garnered over 5 million views, Yahr has become a beloved performer and jokester on Twitter and Instagram. He initially shot to viral fame in 2017 after he recreated Beyoncé’s pregnancy photos in a stunning pictorial that was featured in many media outlets, including The Huffington Post, BuzzFeed, and People. Since then he has gone on to partner with a number of brands, including Chappy, ManiMe, and Kaftko, to promote their products with his unique voice and personality.
