“This is a show you can bring your kids to, your grandkids, your grandparents, your pastor, your first date… Anyone and everyone will find something to laugh about with this clean, family-oriented show.” “I believe the show’s success has much to do with the way it appeals to all ages,” said Spradlin. It’s a high-energy, vaudeville-inspired comedy for all ages, packed with music, magic and monkey business, and bursting with fun. The show’s visit to Brainerd is made possible by an Arts Tour Minnesota Grant, received by a collaboration of presenting venues across the state.ĭubbed ‘A Highly Caffeinated Comedy,’ the show tells the rags-to-rags story of Hugh Butternut, Buzz Maxwell, and Bobby Bean, an aspiring comedy trio whose bid for showbiz fame and fortune ended in 4 minutes of magnificent failure on national television. It has performed in the Twin Cities every year since 1995. The show has delivered laughs to more than 2 million people in 6 countries, including in multiple Minnesota cities. Triple Espresso is a Minnesota-grown show, written by Minnesotans Bill Arnold, Michael Pearce Donley, and Bob Stromberg and originally directed by William Partian.

“It never fails to sell out, and the reason is simple: it’s an astoundingly good time for people of all ages.” Performances will be in the Chalberg Theatre on the Brainerd campus of Central Lakes College.ĬLCPAC producer Patrick Spradlin calls the show ‘the funniest thing I’ve ever seen.’ “We’ve presented this show twice before,” said Spradlin. Presented by the Central Lakes Community Performing Arts Center as part of their Cultural Arts Series, the record-breaking, long-running, critically-acclaimed comedy will perform at 2 p.m. Result: Triple Espresso, the funniest show you’ll see this century! Add a coffee house, hand shadow puppets, a trip to Zaire, things that disappear (and reappear), a gorilla running loose at a piano contest, and a very unfortunate appearance on national television. Take 3 guys with big ambitions and an utter lack of common sense.
