Barney Farmer

Barney Farmer is a writer, raconteur, pessimist, sceptic and aspirant public scourge from the North of England. He has worked with the artist Lee Healey for longer than either man cares to recall, and since 2002 they have graced the pages of iconi UK adult comic Viz with strips including Drunken Bakers, The Male Online, Hen Cabin and much, much more.

Farmer's lyrical and 'frequently repulsive' debut novel Drunken Baker was quietly published in April 2018 to various throwaway critical acclaim, and received a similar response to his second, Coketown, when it appeared in 2019.
