This January, the Fox Valley Area will receive a full offering of musical tributes and Chicago comedies from Noble Fool Theatricals as they present: the longest running solo play in Broadway history, Defending the Caveman, a showcase of the Eagle's greatest hits with Heartache Tonight, Chicago's favorite couple, Tony n' Tina's Wedding, the tropical Jimmy Buffet tribute Johnny Russler and the Beach Bum Band, a musical tribute to songwriter Neil Diamond, Denny Diamond, a weekend of the #1 Beatles band, American English, and national comedian Mike Toomey's narrative comedy, TV & ME at Pheasant Run Resort (4051 E. Main St., St. Charles, IL; 630-584-6342).

Rob Becker's Defending the Caveman has won the hearts of millions in over 30 countries, and now returns to Noble Fool Theatricals to win the hearts of couples in the western suburbs as the one-man comedy discovers and explores the funny gender gaps everyone can relate to in an uproariously insightful way. Becker hilariously reveals how all men/women behavior in today's modern world still relates to those primal principles, making the show the longest running solo play in Broadway history. Defending the Caveman runs a special New Year's Eve performance on Thursday, December 31, 2009 at 9pm, which includes complimentary party favors and champagne for $50 per ticket.
