DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN, the longest-running solo show in Broadway history, returns to Toronto November 2 to 26 to entertain a whole new generation of couples! This one-man phenomenon has been seen by more than 7 million people in more than 40 countries and in over 15 different languages. More of a peacemaker than a club-wielding Neanderthal, DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN explains the male mystique and contemporary feminism with great humour. DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN plays at the DIESEL Playhouse main space, 56 Blue Jays Way (south of King St.).     "While CAVEMAN is out to dispel the notion that all men are jerks, it does so in a way that is designed to promote understanding between the sexes. And judging from the uniformly uproarious response, the observations play equally well to both sides of the divide."  **** Toronto Star   "CAVEMAN is a nationwide comic phenomenon!"

The New York Times

  "CAVEMAN's affection for women and its light-hearted defense of men make  CAVEMAN a winner for both sexes!" Chicago Sun-Times   Starring in DEFENDING THE CAVEMAN is Canada's own Michael Van Osch.
