Written by American comedian Rob Becker and starring beloved Step Dave actor Jono Kenyon, this record-breaking international hit that has captivated audiences for decades explores the age-old battle of the sexes with wit, insight and irresistible charm. It’s a hilariously perceptive take on why men and women are so wonderfully – and frustratingly – different.
Brought to New Zealand by Theater Mogul and Ben McDonald, producer of the recent smash-hit productions Menopause the Musical and Chicago the Musical, this razor-sharp, laugh-out-loud solo show has played to millions across more than 30 countries and in over 15 languages.
Part comedy, part commentary, and part couples’ counselling session, Defending the Caveman promises a night of laughter, recognition, and maybe even a little reconciliation.
