With hilarious insight on contemporary feminism, masculine sensitivity and the erogenous zones, “Defending the Caveman,” mines the common themes in relationships that go straight through the funny bone and into the heart. “Defending the Caveman” makes us laugh at ourselves, about all the ways that men and woman fight, laugh and love.
Written by comedian Rob Becker over a three-year period that included an informal study of psychology, sociology and prehistory, “Defending the Caveman” is full of wonderful scenarios that celebrate the differences between men and women, making it the perfect entertainment option for couples or for a girls’ night out.
Ben Tedder, native of North Carolina, will be performing the caveman. After spending some time behind a microphone as a radio DJ in high school, he began acting while attending North Carolina State University in Raleigh, appearing in several University Theatre productions. After college, he worked with several theatre companies in the Raleigh and Chapel Hill area.
