He performed at the lavish James Bond parties, for the Rolling Stones at Bill Wyman’s wedding, and private events for royalty. After dropping the props, Carey established himself firmly as one of the top stand-up comedians from the British circuit, playing all the most prestigious clubs and festivals. He has performed in every continent and claims to have travelled more in his life than he has stood still. A circuit veteran, Marx concocts his own blend of dark humour with his ability to find joy in the most unexpected places. An international multi-award winner, Carey’s credits range from Channel 4’s Gas to BBC One’s The Stand Up Show. Marx has written for the likes of Newzoids (ITV), The Now Show, (Radio 4), and Nick Doody’s Bigipedia (BBC Radio 4).
