“Shockingly hilarious… as funny as it is wrong.” ★★★★ Sunday Mail
“Carey Marx is a criminally overlooked comedian. He’s an extraordinarily talented stand-up who reaches into the genre’s darkest corners with a tickling stick. Delivering his black thoughts with a cheeky smile … he makes the world a better place”. ★★★★ Metro
“Marx has a way of deconstructing language’s absurdities which is brainy and funny at the same time.” The Stage
“Excellent.” The Guardian.
