My Take
What draws me to David Schneider is the unlikely overlap of comedian and scholar: he studied modern languages at Oxford and worked towards a doctorate in Yiddish drama, and I suspect that feeds his sharp, understated humour. He is not a flashy performer chasing the loudest laugh; he writes, directs, and acts, working the craft from every angle, and that quiet mastery earned him a 2018 European Film Award for Best Comedy. British wit at its most cerebral. I admire performers who stay versatile and unshowy, and Schneider strikes me as exactly that kind of durable, intelligent talent worth following.
