About

Jerma985 is a streamer who stages interactive live comedy. In the 2021 Dollhouse streams, viewers directed his actions by voting on how he lived inside a house set.[1][2] The three-part production adapted the controls of The Sims to a live performer.[1]

Experiments with live performance

Jerma started on YouTube in 2011, initially making Team Fortress 2 videos.[1] He made Twitch his main platform in 2016.[1] His Jerma Rumble series staged wrestling matches between unusual characters in video games; a 2016 edition brought the matches into live action.[1] In 2019, he let viewers control robots to aim at carnival games through Twitch chat.[1]

His August 2022 baseball broadcast pitted the Maryland Magicians against the California Circus. The production combined baseball players and circus performers.[1] Jerma played the umpire and described the production as live comic improvisation.[2]

Offbrand's creative team

In June 2023, he joined Offbrand, the events company co-founded by Ludwig, as chief creative officer.[3][1] A December 2024 report quoted Ludwig saying that Jerma had left about six months earlier.[4]

He describes his current broadcasts as sporadic, an approach he has called "soft retirement".[5]
