In 2016, Shandur co-authored the book Off The Mic: The World's Best Stand Up Comedians Get Serious About Comedy with Deborah Frances-White which came out on Bloomsbury Publishing. [3] The book, about the mechanics of stand-up comedy, features new interviews with 42 comedians, including Eddie Izzard, Phill Jupitus, Sarah Millican, Jim Jefferies, Lewis Black and Marc Maron. The Independent called it "Fascinating – part textbook, part therapist’s notebook." [4] In December 2016, it was nominated for a Chortle Award. [5]
