Carey Marx
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.
Carey’s early career saw him performing as a world-class sleight of hand magician, illusionist, hypnotist, psychic, medium, and creator of the unusual. He performed at the lavish James Bond parties, for the Rolling Stones at Bill Wyman’s wedding, and private events for royalty. He was even booked to entertain Princess Beatrice at her birthday party when she was two. She cried a lot. Yes, Carey has made a princess cry.
He has performed on a sinking ship, on ice, and as a rabbit. (Those were three different shows. And he wasn’t booked to perform on a sinking ship; it just worked out that way). After dropping the props, Carey established himself firmly as one of the top stand-up comedians from the British circuit, playing all the most prestigious clubs and festivals. He has performed in every continent and claims to have travelled more in his life than he has stood still.
A circuit veteran, Marx concocts his own blend of dark humour with mischief and glee. His wilful disregard for the controversial and taboo is tempered with his ability to find joy in the most unexpected places. An international multi-award winner, Carey is no stranger to screen or radio with credits ranging from Channel 4’s Gas to BBC One’s The Stand Up Show as well as his own radio show, Intensive Carey (BBC Radio 4) adapted from his wildly successful 2013 Edinburgh Festival Fringe show of the same title.

Alexander Bennett
Alexander Bennett’s comedy has been variously described as dark, silly, filthy and thoughtful. He has filmed several stand-up specials, created the cult hit comedy game show Hell To Play and recently started his new high-concept podcast Born Yesterday with comedian Andy Barr, which has already had guests including Jordan Gray and Phil Wang.
His 2023 and 2024 shows received several 5 and 4 star reviews, were shortlisted for the Amused Moose Comedy Award and have had jokes featured in the Telegraph's Top 10 Funniest Jokes of the Edinburgh Fringe.
He has collaborated with Mark Watson, was nominated at the Leicester Comedy Awards as part of Consignia and co-orchestrated a huge charity event at the Pleasance Grand in Edinburgh called Dan Vs Food, in which a cast of 25+ comedians including Ed Gamble, Iain Stirling, Nick Helm, Sophie Duker and Ivo Graham watched a man called Dan eat his lunch.
"Bennett is undoubtedly a funny man - an hour of self-deprecating stories that leave his audience in stitches." The List
