Through his Caveman, Plewman ensures his audiences spend the show in stitches but walk away with something to think about.<\/p>\n<p>This new production has been updated to reflect today\u2019s world of tweeting, selfies and Facebook but still consists of the core comedy about why men and women see the world so differently. The show is the longest running solo play in Broadway history and has been seen in over 40 countries.<\/p>\n<p>Plewman has an uncanny knack for capturing his audience, and whether you choose to take a partner, friend, family member or colleague along to see the show, you will not regret spending the evening with one of the most revered comedians.<\/p>\n<p>As the country\u2019s longest-running and most successful solo comedy, this tongue-and-cheek gem will offer a night out of deep belly laughs.<\/p>\n<p><em>Testament to this is the fact that his audiences keep coming back, \u201cSaw this play must be more than 20 times and willing to see it 20 more.\u201d \u2013<\/em> <strong>Elaine Meyer <em>Upper Crust<\/em><\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Laugh?
