Sold Out - Sorry
Tuesday 25 July
Doors: Doors 8pm 1st Show - 8.30pm 2nd Show 9.45pm
Tickets: Not available Not available
A chance to catch two full shows for less
than the price of one before they go up to the Edinburgh Festival. We aim to recreate the true Edinburgh
experience – no audience, no pay for the acts, great fun! We have an enviable record in predicting the
big-hit shows before they win awards
ED BYRNE
SPOILER ALERT
I originally
intended to call the show I’ll Millennial You in a Minute, but my promoter
considered the title 'off-puttingly baffling'. That’s my own chainsaw in the
photo, by the way. ‘Comedy’s Holy Grail’ (Sunday Times). Most recently seen on
Dara and Ed’s Road To Mandalay and various Mock The Weeks, Ed has become a
household name from his multiple BBC TV appearances. TV career aside, his live
work has built up legions of fans. Ed remains the observational stand-up to see
and his live work is not to be missed!
Carey Marx
The Afterwife
Carey’s marriage has crumbled and he now finds himself single at the age
of 51. He turns to his guitar, carrying it everywhere and writing songs about
everything. But it’s not a midlife crisis or a strange depression according to
one of his songs he wrote one night while sleeping with his guitar.
Soon, his relationship with his guitar becomes as complicated as the one
with his wife. The guitar wants a divorce.
In this savagely introspective show, Carey tries to come to terms with
failure, disappointment, enthusiasm and freedom. His cynicism becomes
inextricable married to dark cold reality. But don’t fear, nothing is too dark,
cold or real for Carey.
Carey Marx is the 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.
His previous eleven 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).
