I grew up playing classical piano, but failed my conservatory audition at 18. After some time focusing on MDMA, I started stand-up comedy. 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.
