I received a direct mail card advertising “A Comedic Cabaret Experience” at Davenport’s Piano Bar Cabaret in Chicago. The show is called “Hot Beans in Love” and claims to feature Kelly Bailey and Benjamin Nelson. However, on closer inspection… that’s not Benjamin Nelson… that’s David Hoy, leading worship at Calvary Memorial Church in Oak Park! 
Seriously, Benjamin will be acting the part of “Benji Nelson,” life-partner to cabaret singer “Frankie Beans” in this hot n’ spicy production. The show starts on April 2nd at 8 PM, and continues through April every Wednesday night. Davenport’s is located at 1383 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago and you can get more info on their website.
You can also get much more information about the show at the Hot Beans show blog site.
I plan to check out the show myself.
Thanks for the plug Randy… we’ll look forward to seeing the Birkey Clan out in force!
Can we get an encore performance of Hot Beans in Love at CMC; maybe the 8:30 service? It hasn’t been since “Benji’s” performance of Jesus wearing a puffy diaper that anyone reviewed a CMC service as “hot n’ spicy.”
David is actually my understudy for this show. So if I get sick… get ready.
…ok, Benjamin, i’ll be ready, but the script you sent me was printed upside down!!…er, oh wait, if I turn it like this… never mind.
