Aidan Jones - Chopin’s Nocturne

I grew up playing classical piano, but failed my conservatory audition at 18. I spent some time focusing on drinking goon, then started stand-up in 2011. During the pandemic, I came back to the piano, and so I wrote this show to combine them.

Come and see me play one of the most famous pieces of classical piano ever written, and then tell a bunch of wild stories about it. It's my favourite piece, Chopin's Nocturne in Eb Major, presented with jokes by a bald idiot with a beard (me).
