Sitting Under A Tree with Aidan Jones
One December in Sydney, out of lonely desperation to tell my story, I sat in a park under a tree and recorded a podcast. I’ve released a new one each week since November 2017, and will continue to do so every Tuesday, forever.

I've extended my run at the Melbourne Comedy Festival by 12 nights!!!..... and the first night last night was FUCKING HORRIFIC! Hahahaha I rant about the comedy industry and people who are unnecessarily bitter, and then double back and admit that I'll probably be one of those people again a month after the comedy festival finishes. Also a story about a guy called Tony who had a heart attack.

I fucked up the date in the recording here and said March instead of April, but rest assured this IS from today haha. On Saturday a drunk, homeless man brandished a broken glass bottle in my face, so I talk about that for a bit. Also the might Tottenham Hotspur getting up against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, and fellow comedians getting in football related fights. It's been a great week all round.

If you find a bike on the street, and it's not locked up, and it's not even in anyone's front yard, it's just propped up against a pole, can you take it? Like, if it's a shitty bike with fucked brakes, and it's night time. Anyway, I talk about that later in the pod, after I talk about tea (again) and Stuart, the alcoholic owner of the cafe I worked at last year.

I got back from the Adelaide Fringe yesterday after staying out all night on the last day, and getting picked up by The Boyssssss at 5am for the drive back. It feels good to be home, even in this, the sweaty armpit of Melbourne. Ever been cockblocked (or whatever the female version of that is?) by some fuckhead out trying to cut your lunch? I talk about that on here too, and my new strategy to deal with it. Brought to you by the now-derelict Producers Bar on Grenfell St in Adelaide, Australia.

This weekend I jumped the fence to WOMADelaide a few times with varying degrees of success, culminating in what was honestly one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my life on Monday night. I'm super tired today, but I have a judge for the festival awards in my show tonight, so it's time to PERK UP!! Also drum circles are rubbish. LONG LIVE DOUG STANHOPE AND THE KILLER TERMITES!!

My god, today has been a fucking hideous day. I started this pod fuming about the amount of petty crap I've struggled through in the last 24 hours, then slowly calmed down while ranting about children's glue being made from horses and the reasons why I shouldn't be allowed behind the wheel of a car.

In the last week I've gotten drunk at some fantastic dive bars in Sydney in between doing some great shows there. I woke up on my mate Benger's doorstep one morning, and saw some people miss their flight at Sydney Airport. Beautiful. Also got to cuss out a racist homeless man. It was a great week!

This week I'd just landed in Sydney on red eye flight, slept for a couple hours in the airport and then walked across town with my bags to get to my mate Liz's house in Rozelle. I accidentally woke her housemate up at one point while I was yelling about podcast hosts who can't stay on topic. Sorrrryyyy!

This pod was hard work and I really didn't say a whole lot of anything other than a 5-minute rant about dogs, until almost 20 minutes in when I finally caved and realised I should have been talking about the one thing that I had on my mind, but had been trying to avoid talking about for the previous 20 minutes. Once I got that out, I mused on a great conversation I had with a friend about honesty and openness, before admitting once and for all that I am a fuckboy. I'm reading this great book called This Is Not The Story You Think It Is, by Laura Munson, and I wrapped up with a little reading from it. Recorded at Lazy Susan's Comedy Den in Perth.

This week on a special episode of Sitting Under A Tree, I sit down with my best mate Phil Portellos a couple days before my birthday and we drink a bunch of craft beers. We share dating stories, talk about trying to scam free shit off of multi-national companies, and taste a bunch of lovely beers. Music: City and Color - ....Off By Heart Ugly God - Fuck Ugly God
