WINNER – BEST INTERNATIONAL SHOW – NEW ZEALAND COMEDY FESTIVAL 2009 NOMINATED BEST SHOW – LEICESTER COMEDY FESTIVAL 2009 Carey Marx has been a circuit favourite for years mixing his own blend of dark humour with his mischeivious and gleeful delivery. His willful disregard for the controversial and delicate is tempered beautifully by his ability to find joy in the most unexpected places. This hilarious mix of edgy topics and playful gagsmithery can be seen at all the top clubs across the country with Marx regularly playing Jongleurs, Komedia and The Comedy Store and annually compering Reading, Leeds and Glastonbury Festivals. LIVE WORK Carey has performed all over the world including a run in the Middle East and he performed at the New Zealand Comedy Festival for the first time this year scooping the award for Best International Show. SOLO SHOWS FESTIVALS TV WRITING CREDITS CASTING INFO PRESS Guardian Pick of the day 19/08/08 Guardian Pick of the week 10/01/09 “His love of language is evident throughout and an analytical gift which extends beyond mere observation. “Marx is no empty-headed shock comic, causing offence for offence’s sake. Here he intelligently argues his case for every sick topic, every taboo word, that features in his set. He’s thought about this stuff – a lot … This is a show about the power and beauty of language, as much as anything, though it just happens to be illustrated with some corking yet hardcore gags, too.” óóóó Chortle “His delivery is assured, and it has to be when dealing with this subject matter. His slick, twisted logic sees him take his own arguments and turn them on their head, making you question your own assumptions.” óóóó Broadway Baby “Few comedians put as much consideration into their routines as Marx clearly has … jokes which come at an astonishing rate, and rarely miss their mark … essential viewing.” óóóó The Fest “He is just "Evil" in a cute devilish way.” óóóó One 4 Review “Marx has a way of deconstructing language’s absurdities which is brainy and funny at the same time. Marx tells us he cares about words, and he more than proves that you can make hilarious comedy that is thought provoking and conscious of both its freedoms and its responsibilities.” The Stage OTHER PRESS “Marx's slick delivery lends itself to clever verbal comedy, while his flexible features can switch in an instant from cheeky schoolboy grin to menacing stare.” The Scotsman “Anecdotally debauched … But if his lines are frequently sick, they're elegantly written, too, and there's a childlike glee to his naughtiness … Underrated and for the most part criminally overlooked.” The Herald “Hilariously demented” Edinburgh Evening News “This may seem like a dangerous selection of topics for a midday slot at a middle-class festival but Marx is smart, with writing that is well structured, clever and slickly delivered. So rather than cause offensive, he is actually charming and very, very funny.” Chortle (Latitude Festival) “Excellent.” The Guardian. “Unbelievably Funny.” óóóó Kate Copstick, The Scotsman “The man has a wicked sense of humour … a star in waiting” óóóóó One 4 Review “highly engaging, devilish, menacing and totally mesmerizing show” Edinburgh Guide “He is a masterful styalist, gracefully switching from surrealism to sardonic irony.” óóóó Skinny Fest “a truly winning hour of entertainment” óóóó Metro
