Triple Espresso-a highly caffeinated comedy is about…
Three guys
A coffee house
An utter lack of common sense
Climbing the ladder of success, downwards
Dust storms in Nebraska
Things that disappear…and reappear
A gorilla in a music contest
Hand shadow puppets
The single most embarrassing moment ever broadcast on live national television
The funniest show you will see this century!
Triple Espresso tells the story of three guys whose bid for showbiz fame and fortune ended in 4-minutes of magnificent failure on national television. Hugh Butternut, Buzz Maxwell, and Bobby Bean tell their rags-to-rags story earnestly, with hysterical results. Butternut is a musician, a vulnerable soul with a lounge lizard smile; Maxwell is an uncertain magician with an attitude; and Bean is an irrepressible, all-over-the-map entertainer with big dreams. The laughter is infectious and the comedy appeals to everyone from first graders to college students to baby-boomers to grandparents.
