Welcome to my show...
HALF WAY BETWEEN
A MUSICAL AND A PLAY
Think The Boston Pops meets solo theatre. I perform an original, one-of-a-kind operetta, Paper Gun, acting the lyrics like a scene from a play, and singing them with live, looping piano arrangements. I also present iconic songs performed with the same theatricality and musical intimacy, and operate from a pool of pieces for both, all of which work synonymously - always a different show.
"Wow! This is as different a performance as anything I've seen in terms of the Listening Room Network! It's really more "performance art" than "musical performance"...as much poetry as it is music. He is clearly hugely creative in general, and his lyrics are poetic wonders. And, his piano playing is just exceptional!"
Listening room audition review, Aug 2025
A Life in Music:
From Londons West End piano bars
to the American East coast
For almost a decade in the U.S., I have been singing, playing piano and telling stories* to people who tell me they don't have long to go. I listen after the concerts to private confessionals; people who've been left behind by their loved ones, who just lost their spouse four days ago, who served in Vietnam and other wars, and all sorts of stories
- all because at the piano I took them away from the company of their misery BH’.
If you want to see live footage of them coming up after the shows see section below.
It’s meaningful, and I have been doing this up and down the East coast from Florida to Connecticut,
and through I get to exercise my own pieces, and have developed and refined two unique shows.
Prior to that I was another decade resident entertainer in London West end piano bars and Swiss ski hotels.
*from the Croatian mafia in London, to the story about the Malasian billionaire and his entourage,
and many more from my book; Life is grand, baby!
I am set up for performance and travel anywhere without additional cost for accommodation
- I can be anywhere at short notice, totally flexible with location.

OPERETTA PAPER GUN ORIGINAL SONG PLAYLIST
Please take some time to hear the current live operetta collection as now released on iTunes etc (all platforms).It is the leading force served by all my work. Much as you can see these performances in video playlists, the experience of just hearing the songs I think is more fullfilling / less distracting.

Sgt Pepper pack up
Think The Boston Pops meets solo theatre. Paul performs in a way you’ve never seen—acting the lyrics like a scene from a play, and singing them with live, looping piano arrangements. It's music reimagined with storytelling.
Musical Style & Performances
Known for his dynamic and unpredictable performances, Paul offers two distinct shows:
1. Original Operetta – Paper Gun: Described as “an exercise in expressing things you can never express (something must be done),” this piece delves into themes of vulnerability and emotional depth, inviting audiences into an intimate and reflective experience.
2. THE SONG IS THE PLAY: A theatrical tribute to the rich history of contributions to music, this show features classics from artists like Frank Sinatra, Neil Diamond, Amy Winehouse, and Bob Dylan, presented with Paul Tosh’s unique flair.
His performances are characterized by a fusion of conversation, humor, and musical prowess, often leaving audiences feeling as though they’ve been part of a "pre-WWII era artistic gathering."

Introduction

Hello
As a Piano Man I played across Europe, mostly Switzerland, Denmark, as well as London’s West End—performing four hours a night four nights a week for four years in Hyde Park and Regent Park hotels. That’s where I built a repertoire and honed a set and equipment approach.
Now based in the U.S., I spent the last six years bringing an intimate, story-driven concert to various 55+ communities, private homes and fund raisers—where I'm booked regulalrly.
The original content in my PAPER GUN
OPERETTA has been honed during these recent years, performed in the bookings for my show THE SONG IS THE PLAY, up and down the East Coast.
After my new PAPER GUN show I invariably stay and take requests Piano Bar style: with some Bob Dylan, Billy Joel Frank Sinatra, Beatles, and others. And sometimes stay and do THE SONG IS THE PLAY show in full the following night.
My original, one-of-a-kind operetta, PAPER GUN is performed with the same theatricality and musical intimacy as my show THE SONG IS THE PLAY.
Always a different, but revolving around a theme of the path from illusion and pretense to integrity — to live authentically and with purpose.
