“Let me show you that you don’t need a degree to enjoy this music – I should know, I dropped out of uni after six weeks!
I grew up playing classical piano, but failed my audition for the conservatorium to study at university. I spent some time focusing on MDMA, then I started doing stand-up at 20. During the pandemic I came back to the piano, and now I’m combining the two!
It’s my favourite piece, Chopin’s Nocturne in Eb Major, presented with jokes by a bald dickhead with a beard. (me)” – Aidan Jones
Aidan Jones’ new hour of comedy combines his award-winning stand-up and storytelling style with classical piano to create something fresh and new. Playing Fryderyk Chopin’s Nocturne in Eb Major, Aidan tells the incredible story of one of history’s greatest musicians – his life, love, home and heartbreak – woven through with hilarious jokes and illustrated with the very music the composer used to express himself almost 200 years ago!
It’s music and history brought to life through comedy by one of Australia’s most passionate (and outrageous!) storytellers.
