We’ll all be heading down the strip today to catch the three o’clock Defending The Caveman at the Excalibur. (Normally the star of the show would be Burke, but he’s on vacation. Burke has gotta be one of the hardest working comics in Vegas, if not in all of show business– two Caveman’s a day and an additional show downtown at Fitzies!) We’ll be seeing a substitute Caveman. They’ve made some tweaks to the show since we saw it, so we’ll be curious to see what’s different. (We caught Rob Becker, the original caveman himself, in a performance of DTC in Philadelphia back in 1994.)
That’s comedian/writer Jeff Shaw on the left (and The Male Half on the right) at the Riviera Comedy Club after the second show last night. Shaw made it on over to the Riv after finishing up his obligation at the Fitzgerald’s Fitz of Laughter show. (He’s headlining there this week, subbing for the vacationing Kevin Burke.)
That’s Hasan Minhaj on the left and D J Hazard on the right… surrounded by Steve Martin, Milton Berle, Jack E. Leonard, Bob Hope, Don Rickles and Martin Scorcese, at the Riviera.
