Aidan Jones: Chopin’s Nocturne (Tour Preview)
Share:
TweetI grew up playing classical piano, but failed my conservatory audition at 18. After some time focusing on MDMA, I started stand-up in 2011. During the pandemic I came back to the piano and now I've combined them. It's my favourite piece, Chopin's Nocturne in Eb Major, presented with jokes by a bald, Australian dickhead with a beard.

I recall seeing Stephen K Amos taking on a similar character some years ago in Edinburgh to good effect and this portrayal was of equal merit. However the 'black dictator' gag wore a little thin too early and maybe the revelation that he was actually someone else should have come sooner. The gags worked well at times..the funniest being the reference to the Halifax man. There is a more interesting story in there somewhere. Overall well performed.
