In the midst of unprecedented global challenges such as Covid, a war in Russia, and load-shedding, one thing remains constant: the timeless humour and insight of DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN. And with the arrival of a new and recently vaccinated caveman played by Craig Jackson, audiences can expect fresh challenges, new descriptive words, and plenty of highs and lows.

The show is structured around a simple premise: that men and women are fundamentally different due to their evolution as hunter-gatherers and child-bearers, respectively. Using humorous anecdotes and observational humor, the show explores these differences and seeks to bridge the gap between the sexes by fostering understanding and empathy.

At its core, DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN is a celebration of the differences between men and women. The show does not seek to undermine or belittle either gender, but rather to acknowledge and appreciate their unique strengths and weaknesses. Through witty jokes and insightful commentary, the show challenges stereotypes and encourages audiences to rethink their preconceptions about gender roles.

One of the key strengths of DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN is its universality. While the show is primarily aimed at heterosexual couples, its message resonates with people of all genders and sexual orientations. The struggles and triumphs of relationships are universal, and the show captures these experiences in a way that is both entertaining and insightful.

The success of DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN over decades can be attributed in part to its relatability. By speaking directly to the audience’s experiences and emotions, the show creates a sense of shared understanding and empathy.
