Andrew Paul Roach (born July 29, 1969), mostly known as Mini Manson, is an American entertainer, YouTuber and internet personality[1] who is known online for his eccentric personality and Marilyn Manson-inspired style of performance.
Entertainment career
In 2003, Roach appeared on the Ripley's Believe It or Not! TV show while living in St. Augustine, Florida.[2]
Roach names Marilyn Manson as the inspiration for his stage name and performance style.[1]
In October 2021, Roach began posting videos to YouTube under his pseudonymous stage name.[1] Roach told the Chicago Reader in 2024: "I just never could put it into action. One day I was trying to take a photograph, but I accidentally took a video, saying “This fucking shit” in all my makeup and everything. It made me laugh so hard. I uploaded it to YouTube, and all these people were so nice and encouraging. So I made more."[1]
Roach was considered a lolcow by the infamous trolling forum Kiwi Farms, and became a target of persistent trolling and harassment. In July 2022, a fake news article surfaced accusing Roach of inspiring the Highland Park parade shooting near Chicago.[3] The article was intended to harass Roach.
