My Take
What draws me to Simon Farnaby is his rare double life as both writer and performer. Anyone can act, and plenty can write, but the people who do both with comedy tend to understand the machinery of laughter from the inside out. His work with the Them There collective, from Horrible Histories to Ghosts and Yonderland, suggests a mind that builds jokes architecturally rather than just delivering them. The fact that he reaches kids and adults alike tells me he never condescends to either audience. I respect creators who quietly stack up a body of work instead of chasing a single spotlight, and Farnaby strikes me as exactly that kind of durable talent.
