 Only
in Vegas can you find an unusual comedy show reflecting our
prehistoric ancestors (the Cavemen). Here at the Excalibur
Hotel and Casino guests will laugh until their stomachs hurt
enjoying this performance. Have you ever wondered have we
really changed that much since the days the cavemen roamed?
Even though today we are less hairy and have a much larger
vocabulary, have we really changed that much? Not according
to this play that is performed at the Excalibur Hotel,
written by Rob Becker this play explores the differences of
relationships between men and women through comparison to
our prehistoric ancestors. As guests enter the theater they
will recognize the familiar Flintstone style setting, here
the show is set in the Flintstone style living room accented
with stone tables and television. Here the actor Kevin Burke
begins to ponder the differences between girls and boys
aloud cracking jokes about the different sexes. As he speaks
aloud a caveman appears to help him understand the
differences between the genders. The actor Kevin Burke
speaks out into the audience and begins comparing two
different cultures and this is the crux of the play… He
expresses to the audience men are the hunters and women are
the gathers. Men are also singularly focused on tasks while
the women imagine and arrange things in life, collecting all
the details and discussing their feelings. He also refers to
women and how they get together with their girl-friends and
have “girl talk” and how men don’t have these “talks”
meaning men do not discuss emotions or have heart to hearts
with their guy friends. Men prefer to call each other
derogatory names. In Defending the Caveman Kevin Burke
analyzes the behavior between women and men through several
hilarious short stories along with exploring gender
stereotypes. Kevin Burke is witty and insightful he
approaches the material in a caring and humorous way
including the audience in his humor. This very popular show
brings out the Caveperson in each of us. Couples in the
audience will have a fantastic time poking one another
throughout the show laughing uncontrollably and even wiping
the tears from so much laughter. Defending the Caveman
originally opened in 1991 in San Francisco, touring other
cities before spending over three years on Broadway. Where
Defending the Caveman became the longest running solo play
in history, this hilarious performance has played in thirty
different countries and has been translated into 151
different languages. So, the next time you are visiting Las
Vegas and you want to laugh until your stomach hurts be sure
to attend Defending the Caveman at the Excalibur Hotel.
