Aidan Jones: Orlando Gibbons

Aidan Jones: Orlando Gibbons

Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2025

My great-grandfather spent years of his life trying to trace the link between our family and Renaissance-era keyboardist Orlando Gibbons. He was the foremost composer in England in the late 16th century – now 450 years later, can this bald, Australian dickhead with a beard claim his legacy? 'Punchlines that will leave you laughing for days on end... This is what a well-crafted comedy set looks like!' ***** (Advertiser, Adelaide). 'A masterclass... this shouldn't work, but it does.' ***** (List). 'He's a masterful storyteller... effortless charisma, disarming honesty and a sharp, curious mind' **** (TheAge.com.au).
