iShowSpeed’s Southern California tour highlights

The creator made a stop in Southern California and kept busy with a ton of different activities. He kicked off the day with breakfast at Mimi’s Cafe in the San Fernando Valley. After eating, he went to Anaheim to check out some Disneyland attractions. Later, he met up with his group at Escape Room Era, a spooky escape room where his reactions brought some drama to the show.

The day also had a visit to the Compton Cowboys, where iShowSpeed and his friend got on horseback. Food was a big part of the trip, too. The group grabbed food at Señor Cliff’s Texas Style Burritos in Compton. Toward the end of the day, he tried skateboarding at the famous public parks on Venice Beach.

In the evening, the streamer stopped by UCLA’s campus in Westwood. At one point during his Compton visit, he came across an active street takeover, an incident that prompted visible caution from his security team. Nevertheless, the YouTuber described his experience in the city positively during a brief conversation on his tour bus.

A meeting with Kim Kardashian turned out to be a standout moment as the tour reached its final days. Fans showed up in big numbers at almost every stop on iShowSpeed’s tour, while his livestream kept viewers engaged from across the world. The Southern California events streamed live on September 29, 2025, as part of the final stretch of his 35-day program. The tour will wrap up on October 2, closing out a project that brought together travel, performance, and ongoing online engagement with his audience worldwide.
