Caveman

I noticed one of my favorite live performances is back in Dallas next week: Rob Becker’s one-person show titled “Defending the Caveman.” The show promotes peace between the sexes as it teeters on the tightrope between acknowledging the differences between women and men while celebrating the diversity. Tim and I see the show every few years as a sure-fire 90 minutes of hold-your-ribs laughter.

Becker begins by establishing his performance space within the Sacred Circle of Dirty Underwear. He explores how a chip bowl gets refilled, what happens in a furniture store, and why a guy thinks with only one part of his body when in amorous pursuit. Becker helps both sexes see themselves as complementary to the other. No bashing or gnashing of teeth, but plenty of people in the audience elbowing the person next to them repeatedly. Yes, that IS you. What? You think that is ME?
