The Toledo Show

Just a few blocks from the beach, tucked inside an intimate, low-lit venue, you’ll find one of LA’s most unforgettable nights out. It’s part burlesque, part jazz club, part fever dream—and it’s all led by Toledo: soul singer, poet, dancer, and full-blown showman with style for days.

Picture smoky horns, sultry dancers, funky bass lines, and a frontman who slides between beat poetry and R&B like it’s nothing. One minute you’re deep in a slow-burning jazz number, the next you’re catching your breath from a full-band funk explosion.

Toledo’s been called “the coolest cat working in Hollywood” (LA Times), a “modern-day Cab Calloway,” and “the underground king of LA.” His music? Described as everything from acid jazz to funked-up spoken word—and somehow, it all fits.

Expect a crowd that’s part loyal fanbase, part curious newcomers—everyone caught between dancing or staying completely still so they don’t miss a beat. It’s sexy, strange, soulful, and a little chaotic in the best way.

YOUR NIGHT AT A GLANCE:

Doors at 8:00 PM
Slide in after dinner, grab a cocktail at the bar, and soak up the atmosphere. The room’s buzzing, the lighting’s low, and the crowd’s got that “we’re in for something” energy. Mingle, lounge, or people-watch—this is your pre-show warm-up.

The Show Begins at 9:30 PM
Lights down. Curtain up. Toledo hits the stage—and you're officially in it. Think smoky jazz, sultry burlesque, funky bass, and a frontman who turns the whole room into his playground. It's part concert, part theater, part vintage fever dream.

Wraps around 11:00 PM
You’ll leave buzzing—either hanging back to chat with fellow fans or floating out into the night like you just stepped out of another era. Perfect cap to the weekend before the Monday grind kicks in.
