Aidan Jones Brings Latest Comedy Show to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival

Aidan Jones is bringing his latest international sell-out comedy show to the Melbourne International Comedy Festival in 2019 - the incredibly unique story of a real-life journal written over an entire year on a deck of playing cards.

In 2012 Aidan's New Year's Resolution was to limit his drinking to one day a week. He decided to keep a journal of the year on a deck of playing cards - 52 cards in a deck, 52 weeks in a year - one card for every day he allowed himself to drink. Every night of the Comedy Festival, Aidan will hand out the cards to the audience, who will pick them out one at a time, at random, piecing together the story of his year based on the order the cards are drawn out.

The year that the journal covers included love and heartbreak spanning three continents, a close brush with prison, and a move to a new city at 21 years old in search of a new life. Meet the characters Aidan encountered along the way as he reads his deepest thoughts from that year, live on stage.

Have you ever read back and laughed at old journals or memories from your youth? This show is exactly that, live every night, and different every time.

Aidan Jones is a stand up comedian and a brilliant storyteller. Performing since 2012, he has toured extensively throughout the UK, Europe and Australia, and is a regular on the Melbourne comedy scene. He has appeared on Triple J, and his debut hour was met with rave reviews at the Melbourne Comedy Festival last year, and he had to add 10 more shows to his initial, sell-out run. The Music complimented Aidan's, "effortless and vulnerable charm that is seldom seen on the stand-up stage, even from the most famous comic minds."

'52 Days' is Aidan's second full length solo comedy show, and his hilarious honesty and truly unique stories make him one of the most exciting up-and-coming comics on the Australian festival circuit this summer.
