Temple Comedy Series: Triple Espresso

Three guys. One coffee shop. A comedy of epic failure.

Back by popular demand, Triple Espresso – a highly caffeinated comedy returns to the Temple Theater for another round of laugh-out-loud antics, musical mayhem, and livewire storytelling. Set in a café and centered on a trio of showbiz hopefuls who flamed out spectacularly on national television, this long-running crowd favorite delivers a jolt of comedy that’s equal parts charm and chaos.

The story follows Hugh Butternut (the earnest lounge act), Buzz Maxwell (the misanthropic magician), and Bobby Bean (an excitable entertainer with questionable ideas), as they recount their rise and fall through flashbacks, gags, and the single most humiliating four minutes ever broadcast on live TV. Along the way, you’ll encounter music contests gone wrong, hand shadow puppets, a gorilla, and a dust storm in Nebraska—yes, really.

Originally staged at the Temple Theater for a record-breaking 68-week run, Triple Espresso has developed a loyal local following, with some audience members returning again and again for the show’s ever-changing audience interaction and reliably hilarious punchlines. It’s physical comedy, old-school variety show, and musical satire all in one—and it’s as fun for first-timers as it is for longtime fans.

With slick production, clever writing, and timeless humor that appeals to audiences of all ages, Triple Espresso is the kind of show you can bring anyone to—whether it’s your kids, your college roommate, or your grandparents. Safe to say: everyone’s going to laugh.
