History

Established in 1991.

This smash hit about the sexes is an international sensation that has toured the United States and more than 40 countries with production in nearly 30 languages. Defending the Caveman originally opened in San Francisco in 1991, moved to Broadway in 1995, and 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. Comedian Rob Becker wrote Defending the Caveman over a three-​year period during which he made an informal study of anthropology, prehistory, psychology, sociology and mythology. This prehistoric look at the battle of the sexes is full of hilarious scenarios that celebrate the differences between men and women.

Defending the Caveman made its Sin City debut in June 2007 in downtown Las Vegas. In addition to being the longest-​running one-​man show in Broadway history, it is the longest-​running Broadway show in Las Vegas history.

This show is HILARIOUS. The truth about men and women, done respectfully and with so much humor and good grace. Made me laugh so hard my stomach hurt (for real). I went with my brothers and their wives and oh my god, some of it was so funny and is so truthful it’s stuff we did and said when we were kids! We had VIP tickets so we got a free drink, front row table and each got a picture… when we entered, the staff gave us some caveman type things (clubs, sticks) and we posed in front of a cave wall display. Sounds hokey? Oh. It’s fabulous. And I think the VIP was only about $ 45 because we found a coupon online. Seriously, go to this show. You will not regret it.

Great show. Kevin was dead on. Like the venue, smaller so he can interact with the audience. I would recommend this show to people coming to Vegas.

Almost non-​stop laughs. I saw the original many years ago on television and this is much better. Before there was «Men are from Mars…» there was this hilarious explanation of how and why men and women have communication problems. A great way to spend 90 minutes. I recommend the VIP package.

The best show I’ve been to EVER! ! It was hilarious from the moment we got there to the moment we left. He shook everyone’s hand at end & signed the shirts that people could purchase where all the $$ went to fallen police officers. Wonderful charity, the best show and decent price too! A Must see~

Defending the caveman was hilarious and relatable. The length of show is prefect and the theater was very comfortable. As a woman, the show made me think about my actions in a relationship, vs how a guy sees them while keeping me laughing. Highly recommended this show. Show lasts about 1 hour.

A Freind and I were in Las Vegas for business and decided to see a show. With so many to choose from we picked Defending the Caveman starring Kevin Burke. So glad we went! Kevin was hilarious and interacted with the audience so well. If your looking for entertainment and ready to laugh — this show will do it for you! Outstanding performance!

This one man show was very enjoyable. The reason I only gave it four stars is because the seating is very uncomfortable.

If you come to Vegas, you need to see this show! Kevin did an awesome job keeping everyone laughing out loud the entire time. This is an excellent show with so many true to life examples of men and women’s crazy traits.
So get to Vegas, get your tickets, and go see Kevin at his best… you will NOT be disappointed!

A fantastic show and enjoyed every minute. It was like he lived with me and wife for years and wrote a show about it. If you ever are looking for a show in downtown las vegas i would recommend this one. We got our tickets through the Tix 4 Tonight booth in front of Four Queens casino and got the VIP package which included priority seating and a t-​shirt.

A very funny show and I really enjoyed it along with my family. The venue is very small so all the seats are great. If you sit up front there is a chance Kevin Burke will include you in the show. The sound guy does a great job adding in occasionally and kevin did a great job keeping a couple drunks in line.
The only issue is the hotel. The D hotel appeals to drunks and the lower class of Vegas. A number of patrons were belligerent and spilling drinks everywhere.
In closing: The show was great but the D hotel is not appealing.

Absolutely a must see, hilarious, do true. The comedian has away if bringing up issues between couples and both genders without bathing one or the other. We walked out aching from del belly laughs. A must see in Vegas. A hidden gem of entertainment.

This was a funny show. It starts off a lil slow as you’re introduced into the world of relationships. But, once the guy starts talking you are engaged the whole time. He offers lots of great insights about men and women’s differences that make you say Ah Ha! Very entertaining. If you’re staying at the D they have a buy one get one special on the tickets.

Went with my husband to see this show tonight and wasn’t really sure what i was going to get. I ended up really liking it and laughing for an hour. He was pretty spot on with his man vs woman comedy giving the good and the bad of both sides of the fence. We had a few drinks and a few laughs and would recommend it for anyone over 18!

Great show. Funny from the very beginning to the very end. It’s a fun show of yep that’s me’s and oh nan, that’s so you’s. Kevin was very good at engaging the audience and did a great job of showing the difference between men and women. This is my second time seeing this show. The first time was in Seattle with a different performer. Was just as good if not better. :) Hands down an entertaining show for all ages. :)

All in all I enjoyed myself therefore it was a good show. His jokes were mostly the differences between men and women which are true and it was just a nice chill one man stand up. Thumbs up! good for older couples.

A solid four stars. Pretty funny show complemented nicely by its theme on the evolution of cavemen to modern day us.
The show does start out a little slow, but the audience seems to loosen up to it around 10 minutes in. Kevin might want to work on a more impactful opening to get the audience into the show quickly.
Otherwise, you can feel the awkwardness start to build up minute by minute.
But the vast majority of the show was entertaining. The research Kevin’s done and how he compares it to his life are relatable to most people. Unlike most vegas shows where entertainment is the sole goal, I think most people in the audience were both entertained and learned something.
I certainly did. I am in the early 20s crowd so not everything was directly relatable to my life. A lot of it was funny because I could imagine my parents doing those things. I think Kevin mentioned having kids so maybe he can share some of those stories in future shows.
Overall a solid show. Worth a watch if you have some time. Relatively cheap tickets are a plus!

I was very impressed by the show. Not only that is funny and entertaining, but there are a lot of interesting facts and theories in it, making you think about the man-​woman relationship more. Initially I thought they are just repeating what Allan Pease said in «Why Men Don’t Listen and Women Can’t Read Maps», but in reality the show is even older than this book.
I loved Kevin Burke’s performance a lot as well.

Kevin Burke is phenomenal! If you’ve been in any long term relationship the humor will hit very close to home. Highlighting the why men and woman are so different and backing it up with… «SCIENCE». Lol

This was a cute show. We went to the 4 pm show and we laughed a lot. I think this show is perfect for the older couple looking to have a few laughs. Kinda reminds me of Tim Allen in the 90’s. His jokes go on real life discussions between men and women in relationships.
Our tickets were a comp so I would say it’s a great free show. I wouldn’t recommend this show for a Simone in their 20’s as I think the humor in average married life would be lost on them. Also wouldn’t suggest trying to get drunk at the show $ 11 for a screw driver is not my idea of a drink price.
For those who talk about the décor, it’s an improv set. All improvs look the same with dated pictures of comics in their prime.
If you buy a T-​shirt the 100% of the profit goes to a local police officer charity.
