Das Kaprtal
A joke in a million Strll, he rs responsible for writing a very fine skit aneut a chap whose drunken sexual urges result in a compromrsmg moment With a Snowman. Unfortunately. he discovers that he's actually humping an albino.
He suffers for his art There aren't many people who'd go on the hunt for a brrde Simply to get a comedy show (and a book) Out of rt. But Carey did so last year wrth his show Marry Me.
It’s magic, you know Marx started off his showbusiness career as a magician but. thankfully, he’s left all that behind to concentrate on iust being funny.
