See It Happen Live
Steve and Kai came to Love & Heartache as friends.
Will Paul's improvised love song be enough to turn them into lovers?
Real people. Real stories. Zero rehearsal. Recorded live at Room 52, NYC.
What Is This Show?
Somewhere between laughter and tears, your story becomes a song.
Ever wanted a love song about the person who drives you crazy? A rock anthem about the job you secretly can't stand? A ballad about the most beautiful mess of your life?
Paul Green will make it up on the spot. Right now. About you.
Love & Heartache is a one-of-a-kind comedy experience where the audience is the show. Every guest is invited to volunteer their name for the bucket — and those drawn to the stage get interviewed, celebrated, and immortalized in a fully original song, made up on the spot, never repeated, completely unrehearsed.
Like Matt Rife, Wayne Brady and The Price Is Right — all wrapped into one.
"Every show is completely different. Because every audience is."
What Kind of Song Will Yours Be?
- Love Song About the person who drives you crazy in the best way
- Rock Anthem About the job you secretly can't stand
- Opera About something that should never be an opera

Paul sits at the piano and makes up your song right then and there. No preparation. No second takes.
Go Home Famous
You now have a theme song. You're welcome.
Skip the bucket.
Guaranteed your song —
and a recording of it.
VIP ticket holders are guaranteed to come on stage. You don't leave without a fully original song made up on the spot about your life — live, unrehearsed, front row. And you'll receive a recording of your song after the show.
- Guaranteed spot on stage — no lottery
- Front row seating all night
- A song made up live about your actual life
- A recording of your song sent to you after the show
- A story you'll tell for years — and a video to prove it
General admission — volunteer your name for the bucket. You might walk out with a song about your life that has never existed before and never will again. Either way, it's a great night.

Paul has spent years turning strangers' lives into songs. He's getting better at it. The strangers keep getting weirder.

"Two things I've always done: make people laugh, and play piano. This show is what happens when I finally stopped doing them separately."
Real People. Real Moments.
"We just watched it again... Love it. Kaz & I said we should let you know. It was a little sooner than we hoped but she got a foot infection & couldn't fight it. She's over the Rainbow Bridge & whole again. But we love that we have your show to remind us of her."
"This is the best wedding video ever! Thank you for making this memory for us to belly laugh at for years to come."
"I was on a first date and next thing I know Paul is singing a love song about us. We laughed so hard and it gave us something to break the ice the rest of the evening."
Your story
deserves a song.
