Ben Rimalower's addiction to spending beyond his means has driven him to extreme lengths all his life. In BAD WITH MONEY he charts his sometimes hilarious, sometimes harrowing struggle to overcome his problem - or get rich trying. "Bad With Money" is written and performed by Ben Rimalower and directed by Aaron Mark. Rimalower's first solo show, the long-running hit Patti Issues, explored his obsession with Broadway diva Patti LuPone and his relationship with his troubled gay father.

Featuring Christopher Schelling, Shannon Ford and a kick-ass lineup of guests and backup, Back to My Routes is a sophomore outing that anyone who grew up in the 70's (or wishes they did) needs to see. There is a $30-$40 cover plus a $25 food/drink minimum.
