Star Stage Comedy presents Carey Marx, Patrick Monahan and Tez IIyas

 

Carey marx

 

Carey Marx has been a circuit favourite for years, mixing his own blend of dark humour with his mischievous and gleeful delivery.  His wilful disregard for the controversial and delicate is tempered beautifully by his ability to find joy in the most unexpected places. This  hilarious mix of edgy topics and playful gagsmithery can be seen at all the top clubs across the country with Marx regularly playing Jongleurs,
Komedia and The Comedy Store and annually compering the largest festivals.

Carey has taken numerous critically acclaimed shows to the Edinburgh Festival Fringe over the years. His 2013 show, Intensive Carey, was so successful that it was picked up by BBC Radio 4 in 2015 and developed into a R4 special.

​

Carey regularly headlines the best clubs in the country and plays at the most prestigious festivals.  His first solo show to appear at the Leicester Comedy Festival won a nomination for Best Show, and he was nominated for 2017's Best Club Comic (an award formerly titled best headliner) at the Chortle Awards.

​

★★★★
“A darkly comic Quentin Tarantino. [Carey Marx] guarantees a solid cascade of laughs.” Chortle.

​

★★★★
“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.

tez iiyas

 

Tez Ilyas is one of the most celebrated stars in British comedy. He

has achieved phenomenal success with his debut stand up hour TEZ Talks. A sell out run at the Soho Theatre and his own Radio 4 series based on the show followed, with a second series quickly being recommissioned.

 

His highly anticipated follow up show Made in Britain went on to sell out every single performance (including extra shows) at the Edinburgh Fringe and gained spectacular critical acclaim, with a smash hit nationwide tour the following year. His third show Teztify once again delivered a spectacularly powerful, provocative and brilliantly funny hour of topical stand up, delivering to packed out audiences night after night.

​

Career highlights include his Channel 4 comedy Blap Bounty, which became the most watched show in the strand’s 10 year history, as well as his own satirical sketch series The Tez O’Clock Show which was met with huge critical acclaim. Tez’s hotly anticipated debut novel The Secret Diary of a British Muslim Aged 13 3/4, a teenage memoir quickly became a Sunday Times Bestseller in 2022.
