Google Ingenious Fools LtdAbout the show
Aidan Jones: Chopin's Nocturne is a 60-minute solo stand-up and comedy show presented by Ingenious Fools Ltd at Studio Four. The performer grew up playing classical piano but failed his conservatory audition at 18. After some time away, he returned to the piano during the pandemic and has combined it with stand-up comedy. The result is a performance built around his favourite piece, Chopin's Nocturne in E flat Major, presented alongside jokes. Suitable for audiences aged 16 and over, with strong language.
Why see this show?
A classical pianist who pivoted to stand-up comedy and then merged them back together — this should not work, but by all accounts it does. An unusual and genuinely distinctive solo show built around Chopin's Nocturne in E flat Major.
