Defending The Caveman

I thought it was funny and very true. The comedian had a good moral of the story that was appreciated. I brought two friends and they really liked it! The actor was very good at portraying situations and true actions of males and females.

I attended the Elite event for this show. Brought my boyfriend along and we enjoyed ourselves, but we didn’t really find the humor to be our type of humor… I felt the acting was decent, and it is a sweet plot line, but I’ve lived in NYC and seen many-​a-​Broadway show, but this was not really my cup of tea. It seemed that a large portion of the audience was enjoying themselves and laughing, but it just didn’t strike us the same way. I love cringe comedy i.e. The Office, Parks and Rec, The Last Man on Earth, Girls, Key and Peele, but this was more, How I Met Your Mother (which I never found to be that funny, with the exception of NPH, it was always hit or miss). If you enjoy HIMYM then I would recommend this show for sure, but if you enjoy The Office like I do, you might be better off checking out something else.

Having never been to this theater, I was very excited to check it out! My cousin was in town and when I read him the Unilocal email offering tickets he was all about it, so him, my boyfriend, and I headed down ready to laugh. I was really impressed with the theater. The size was preferable to the larger theaters, and anywhere you were seated was a good spot. Having just visited Comedy Works I was a little skeptical of the table seating, but this place had it on lock! A line of ushers was continuously alternating between seating and re-​lining up, making it a really seamless, easy experience to get to your seats. The drinks were fairly priced, and the lounge before the show was a fun place to hang out together and wasn’t overly crowded. I would be really excited if another show or act I wanted to see was performing here instead of the larger Buell. As for the show, to be completely honest, it wasn’t our humor. It seemed a bit outdated, catering to an older audience. There were definitely tons of people cracking up at all of the jokes, but our early to late 20s group felt like the men-​like-​to-​watch TV and women-​like-​to-​shop jokes were a little tame to describe the intricacies of modern-​day relationships. I would definitely recommend attending if you are a bit older and married, as it seems like the jokes hit the nail on the head with that crowd, though!

My second time seeing this show, and still just as funny! The start of the show was a little awkward, but things quickly picked up. The time flew by really quickly and I couldn’t believe I wasn’t going to get to laugh anymore! A great show for anyone who’s ever been in a relationship.

This was a funny show. While it started off slow, after intermission the comedian found his groove and the pace picked up. With many of his jokes i found myself quietly nodding to in agreement. Although never been married, i have been in lengthy relationships and found that it works out all the same. The comedian said at the end of the show that he had been doing this same show for 12 years. I applaud him for keeping this thing going for so long.

According to this comedy, women say an average of 7000 words per day, whereas men say an average of 2000 words per day. That means that I should have tons of words to describe my experience. Unfortunately I don’t…because I have used up the «haha» word probably 5000 times during this comedy!
Yes, it is that funny and it helps that everyone around you laughs together, nudges each other, and gives knowing looks to whoever they brought with them. This comedy explores the differences between men and women well in a light-​hearted way and with intention as well. Cody (I guess you can call him the caveman and star) ends the play well and with emotions as he loops in his wife and how his caveman instinct is to protect her.
This would definitely be a better experience if you go with someone of the opposite sex to shoot those knowing looks across. Thanks to this matinée show, I will be more conscious and probably more understanding when it comes to dealing with the opposite sex. After all, relationships really can be a laughing matter.
