Carey Marx – “Intensive Carey”
I laughed at everything until I had a heart attack. Now I’m laughing at that. ‘A real joy’ ***** (Edinburgh Evening News). ‘Thoughtful, shocking, hilarious’ **** (Skinny). ‘A solid cascade of laughs’ **** (Chortle.co.uk). ‘A genuinely funny and interesting hour of comedy’ **** (Fest). Best International Show, New Zealand Comedy Festival 2009, 2011.

and

Mary Bourke – “Muffergette”
It’s a show about feminism without all the boring preachy bits, plus it’s very funny too. ‘One of the best female acts on the circuit’ (GQ). ‘An hour packed with fine routines and beautifully written gags’ (Scotsman). ‘Bourke’s obvious skill is such that the audience are never less than utterly delighted … an accomplished and thoroughly enjoyable piece of work.’ **** (Fest). ‘A great show … Bourke’s comedy is savage in intent and surgical in execution … Bourke goes in search of the original spirit of stand-up and reclaims it with style’ ***** (Skinny).
