Carey Marx Plus Guests At Breakneck Comedy Club

Headliner info:
Writer and star of BBC Radio 4's Intensive Carey, twice winner of Best International Show at the New Zealand Comedy Festival, and Leicester Comedy Festival Best Show nominee.

Carey is currently performing his new show, Carey Carey Quite Contrary, at the Edinburgh Festival. Taking a lesson from Donald Trump, Carey's decided to become arrogant, certain and unapologetic. What happens when he's above reproach? Greatness happens. Yes, everything Carey turns his hand to becomes magically magnificent.

Goodbye integrity and humility. Hello delusion and dishonesty.

His previous twelve solo shows have been described as, 'Quite brutal, in a darkly comic Quentin Tarantino kind of way' (Chortle), 'Comedy of the most cerebral variety' (Herald), 'Essential Viewing' (Fest), 'Supremely-crafted comedy' (List), 'Awkward misfit Marx has a genius for the unexpected and hilarious left turns' (Guardian), 'Such a devilish grin, that you can only admire him for being such a magnificent bastard' (The Scotsman).

In 2012, Carey had a heart attack and wrote a highly acclaimed show, Intensive Carey, about his battle back to health. He quickly became Britain's top heart attack comedian (apart from in Scotland where there are bound to be loads).

Carey's early career saw him performing as a world-class sleight of hand magician, illusionist, hypnotist, psychic, medium, and creator of the unusual. He performed at the lavish James Bond parties, for the Rolling Stones at Bill Wyman's wedding, and private events for royalty. He was even booked to entertain Princess Beatrice at her birthday party when she was two. She cried a lot. Yes, Carey has made a princess cry.

He has performed on a sinking ship, on ice, and as a rabbit. (Those were three different shows. And he wasn't booked to perform on a sinking ship; it just worked out that way).
