Alistair Green
Shrapnel: Collected Scripts

Alistair Green’s toe-curling takes on modern middle England have made him a viral sensation. Set against the blank canvas of his white-walled London flat, Green’s shrewdly scripted monologues vividly bring to life a cast of iconic and toxic characters. From the deluded drunk guy obnoxiously flirting with a barmaid, to overfamiliar takeaway customer Julie, Green’s one-man comedy sketches are hilarious, often cringe-worthy and at times poignant character studies, now collected and annotated by Green himself in his debut book, Shrapnel: Collected Scripts.

A master of the single-take phone-filmed sketch, Green is renowned for his astute observations on everyday English life and is fast becoming one of Britain’s most important and influential comics. A comedian, writer and actor, he has made appearances in acclaimed television series, including The Great, Ghosts, Ted Lasso and Alan Partridge.

A unique celebration of Green’s work and humour, Shrapnel is definitely not one to be passed o’er by his fans. The book features over sixty video transcripts and offers a personal perspective on the work through commentaries by Green himself, all delivered in his inimitable style. This personally curated selection of scripts is accompanied by a series of annotated photo diaries and an exclusive in-conversation piece with BAFTA nominated actor, writer and director Diane Morgan.
