Show description

The global comedy phenomenon which holds the record as the longest-running solo play in Broadway history Defending the Caveman is headed for New Zealand. 

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 sessionDefending the Caveman promises a night of laughter, recognition, and maybe even a little reconciliation. 

“outrageously funny and surprisingly sweet exploration of the gender gap” – Chicago Sun-Times
