Aidan Jones - Chopin’s Nocturne 18+

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

It's my favourite piece, Chopin's Nocturne in Eb Major, presented with jokes by a bald dickhead with a beard. (me)
