Triple Espresso: A Highly Caffeinated Comedy
Triple Espresso
January 4, 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm

Laughter is home for the holidays! 3 weeks only at the Luminary Arts Center (North Loop near Target
Field).
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, allover-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.
Starring Michael Pearce Donley, Bill Arnold, John Bush, Patrick Albanese, and Paul Somers.
Duration: 90 minutes. No intermission.
