Aiden Jones grew up playing classical piano, but failed his conservatory audition at 18. He spent some time focussing on MDMA, then started stand-up in 2011. During the pandemic he came back to the piano, and so he wrote this show to combine them.
“Come and see me play one of the most famous pieces of classical piano ever written, on an actual baby grand piano, and then tell a bunch of historical dick jokes. It's my favourite piece, Chopin's Nocturne in Eb Major, presented with jokes by a bald dickhead with a beard (me).”
'Punchlines that will leave you laughing for days on end... This is what a well-crafted comedy set looks like!' *****… Adelaide Advertiser
'One of the cleverest minds on the Aussie comedy circuit.' ****½ ...The West Australian
'He's a masterful storyteller... effortless charisma, disarming honesty and a sharp, curious mind.' **** The Age
Nominated for Best Show in the ISH Edinburgh Comedy Awards 2023 (Long-List)
Local support acts will be Laura Johnston and Leo Amadeus.
