"Since 2003, I've been performing Caveman from Hawaii to France and everywhere in-between," said Burke. "I'm thrilled that my millennial performance will take place in my new home city of Las Vegas!"


Burke, who has wanted to live and perform in Las Vegas since the age of 12, began his performing arts career as a backup drummer touring with a number of bands. After receiving a Bachelor of Arts in acting and directing from Indiana University at Bloomington, Burke landed his first acting gig at the Timberlake Play House, starring as Pooh in the play "Winnie the Pooh." Burke then found his niche with comedy and went on to perform in every small, medium and large club in the nation over the last 15 years.


In 2003, Burke was then introduced by a mutual friend to Rob Becker, the creator of "Defending the Caveman," who wrote the show during a three-year period while conducting an informal study of anthropology, prehistory, psychology, sociology and mythology. Burke has been performing the show ever since.


Show times are at 8 p.m. Monday – Wednesday, 9 p.m. Thursday – Sunday with additional matinee shows on Saturday and Sunday at 3 p.m.
