The “outrageously funny and surprisingly sweet exploration of the gender gap” (Chicago Sun Times) has made Defending the Caveman “a comic phenomenon.” (New York Times)

A hilariously insightful play about the ways men and women relate, Caveman has both sexes roaring with laughter and recognition.  Affectionate nudging between audience members occurs during the performance as they recognize themselves in the stories being told on stage. 

Caveman makes us laugh at ourselves about all the ways men and women fight, laugh and love. Couples all across America are in love with Defending the Caveman.

“Defending the Caveman is hysterically funny!”           ~Variety

“Defending the Caveman is so perceptive, so witty, so sweetly understanding you can't help feeling exhilarated!"         ~Boston Globe

"Caveman is hilarious! A blockbuster!"                  ~Washington Post

The wildly popular comedy Defending the Caveman was written by Rob Becker over a 3-year period during which he made an informal study of anthropology, prehistory, psychology, sociology and mythology. Caveman has since become a peacemaker in the ongoing misunderstandings between men and women.

Caveman originally opened in San Francisco in 1991 and soon moved to Dallas. After a year in Dallas—now an unqualified hit—Caveman went on to sold-out engagements in Washington DC, Philadelphia and Chicago, before opening on Broadway in 1995. After running two and a half years, playing 702 performances at the Helen Hayes Theater, Caveman entered the record books as the longest running solo play in Broadway history.
Caveman has been touring theaters all around America and around the globe ever since.
