Background

Green was born in Sheffield and grew up in Darley Dale and lives and works in London, England.[1] His characters include country music singer Tina C and pensioner rapper Ida Barr. Green got into comedy via television production and acting, after graduating from Goldsmiths College (University of London), with a degree in Drama and English.[1] He is perhaps best known for his work as a character comedian, in a range of personas, and has toured worldwide to venues such as The Albert Hall and Sydney Opera House.[2]

Main characters played

Tina C. is a faux country music singer whose performances cover a range of topics including sexual politics ("No Dick's As Hard As My Life"), geo-politics ("Tina C's Twin Tower Tribute"), and her bid to run in the 2008 presidential race in her show called "Manifesto".[3] In a 2007 commission from the Adelaide Cabaret Festival for "Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word" Tina solves the Aboriginal tensions Down Under. A new series of the Tina C. BBC Radio 4 series was broadcast in late 2011, entitled Tina C, from Middle America to the Middle East. On 3 December 2015, BBC Radio 4 broadcast the first episode of a four-part series, Tina C: Herstory, which purported to trace the fictional character's life-story in words and music, with Dr Raj Persaud playing himself as the episode's guest interviewer.[4][5]

Another character played by Green is Ida Barr, a self-proclaimed "world's first Music hall singer turned RnB rap superstar"[6] who has performed her two solo shows, "Artificial Hip hop" and "Get Old or Die Tryin'" all over the world, on various UK tours, and on a variety of media. Artificial Hip Hop, the BBC Radio 4 series,[7] was broadcast in late 2010.

Installation events

He was the British Library Artist in Residence 2012; in this appointment he investigated the history of hypnosis in the Library's collections.[8]
