Cute show!  However, I wouldn't see this for the comedy, it was more of a storytelling show.  The story came together beautifully and the audience enjoyed the performance.  

As Erik S. already wrote, this is a one man show that had been successful on Broadway and has run for many years.  

On the weekends, you can see the show at 3PM.  Which makes sense, this is more of an afternoon show than an evening show.  

I wouldn't pay full price to see this show, make sure you get your tickets discounted.  

On our way out, the biggest complaint from myself and other audience members was the temperature in the theater.  Bring a jacket.

Good show.  I kind of had an idea what the show was about (solo comedian talking about relationships and how they aren't much different from caveman days) but I have to admit, if you're not in a relationship currently, it's not quite as funny (you can't necessarily look over to a guy you're with and get all the jokes).  Definetly use this show for any married people, dating or any guy/girl combination as that is what the show is about.

Kevin Burke is the comedian who performs on a nightly basis (6 nights a week since 2003) and he does an excellent job of recreating the show that I believe originally started on Broadway.  While this theater is a far cry from what may've been in New York, it does provide for an intimate setting that gives a decent seat to anyone in the house.  However, the seats are so high it is hard to see over them...my companion had to look past the seat in front of her on many occasion to see the comedian.

The show is around $60 but can be found at discount outlets for much less.  We got in free thanks to House Seats Las Vegas who have provided me with many opportunities to see excellent shows.  While I've seen better, I've also seen much worse.  If you're looking for relationship comedy, this would be one of your best bets in Vegas.
