Since Carey’s first appearance at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2003, his unique style of dark humour andmischievous, gleeful delivery has continued to win over the critics and audiences. His first show, AlbinoHunter, showed a wilful disregard for the controversial that gained him many fans, and he has returned to the festival every year since.
Carey has a natural ability to find joy in the most unexpected places and his shows have always differed from the last, highlighting his aptitude for originality. His second solo show, Marry Me, was about Carey’splight to find a wife before the end of the month’s run and was subsequently turned into a book. White Nighthad Carey performing colour-changing jokes in front of a giant colour-changing screen. Careyness was anhonest examination of Carey’s attraction to comedy’s darkest subjects. The Doom Gloom Boom laughed ata world falling apart and dared to suggest answers, and Scoundrel involved a fake séance and a heartfeltattack on lies. This year’s show is Carey at his most audacious and powerful. In Laziness… and Stuff,Carey tears into the understanding of identity and argues the meaning of being human. Hilarious, twisted,and brutally honest.
Carey is a regular favourite at London’s Comedy Store as well as various other comedy clubs across thecountry, and he can often be seen compering Reading, Leeds and Glastonbury festivals. He has alsowritten two novels, appeared on various TV programmes from Slam (Channel 4) to The Stand Up Show(BBC1), written sketches that have appeared on the BBC, and is currently writing for Bigipedia for Radio 4.Carey won the award for ‘Best Show’ at the New Zealand International Comedy festival, 2009, andreturned in 2010 with two sell-out shows and huge critical acclaim.
