Monkey Business Comedy Club Proudly presents Edinburgh previews from brilliantly funny Multi Award-winning CAREY MARX NOMINATED BEST CLUB COMIC CHORTLE AWARDS 2017 WINNER BEST INTERNATIONAL SHOW NZ COMEDY FESTIVAL 2009 & 2011 NOMINATED BEST SHOW LEICESTER COMEDY FESTIVAL 2009 “The blackly comic, deeply personal story about his brush with mortality had provided Marx with material which perfectly suits his line in smart, shocking humour.” The List ★★★★ “Sharp, sweet, cheeky, cynical, romantic and rude as he ever was. Rarely is cardiac failure this funny.” Chortle ★★★★ “Comedy at its best.” Fest ★★★★ “This is a brilliant, deeply personal performance. A brush with death really shouldn’t be this funny.” The Scotsman ★★★★ “It’s a real joy to see a comic at his gleeful best.” Edinburgh Evening News ★★★★★ “A darkly comic Quentin Tarantino. [Carey Marx] guarantees a solid cascade of laughs.” Chortle ★★★★ “His material is superbly crafted and honed to razor sharpness, his delivery style precise, occasionally slightly edgy, and he goes with stuff that some lesser comic may baulk at. Yet, like a naughty schoolboy, he has this disarmingly cheeky grin that somehow salves any excursions into the insalubrious. As a craftsman of his art, he despairs on others using hack material, the tried and tested route to laughs, but judging once again on the night he was never short of laughs himself with yet another quality performance. So do yourselves a favour, go and see him for yourself and see what you have been missing.” One4Review ★★★★★ "Mischievous but smart.” Edinburgh Fest Magazine ★★★★ "Thoughtful, shocking and hilarious. Laziness and Stuff is a cleverly conceived, far from lazy hour of comedy." The Skinny ★★★★ "Opium for the people. A clever man, the audience are in stitches." Broadway Baby ★★★★ "Devilish good humour and sharp wit. The man's got charm in spades." Spoonfed "Carey Marx expertly structures his show around a séance he conducted at Pontins as a teenage bluecoat, the ramifications of his practical joke rippling out across the lives of all those present, the full extent of his dastardly deed only emerging over the course of his hour. Marx's demolition job is so thorough, though, and performed with such a devilish grin, that you can only admire him for being such a magnificent bastard.” The Scotsman ★★★★ “The mocking stance and unremitting march of cold logic will reduce you to howls of laughter. Shockingly hilarious [and] as funny as it is wrong.” Sunday Mail ★★★★ “Magnificent.” The Scotsman ★★★★ “Underpinned with strong storytelling, impressive skills. This is supremely-crafted comedy.” The List ★★★★ “Hilarious, mischievous, a must see show for any sceptic.” Chortle ★★★★ “Brilliant. A talented entertainer, wonderfully delivered. It is nothing short of heresy if you do not witness Marx’s show.” Scotsgay ★★★★ plus smashing storyteller Finalist Leicester Square New Comedian 2011Semi-finalist So You Think You're Funny 2010 ANDREA HURBERT plus MC Martin Besserman Doors 7.30 pm Show 8.00 pm Tel 07932 338203 for info .Please note that line ups are subject to late change but are correct at time of going to press.
