The Chicago Sun Times calls Defending the Caveman “outrageously funny and surprisingly sweet exploration of the gender gap…”
Defending the Caveman will have Jacksonville audiences roaring with laughter and recognition as it “probes the male mystique with a well-aimed spear” (The San Francisco Chronicle).
Comedian Rob Becker wrote Defending the Caveman over a three-year period during which he made an informal study of anthropology, prehistory, psychology, sociology and mythology. His light-hearted look at relationships had a wildly successful two-year run on Broadway. Caveman is full of hilarious scenarios that celebrate the differences and similarities between men and women and how they relate. Becker’s message: “if men and women would spend as much time trying to understand each other as (we) do trying to change each other… (we) would get along a lot better and laugh a lot more.” (The Courier-Journal)

Van Osch has enjoyed successes on the stage and screen in many independent movies, spots on soaps and commercials.

“Hysterically Funny! Couples who were seen arguing before the show, stroll out into the night holding hands.” – Variety
