As the world becomes an impersonal digital morass, leaving us isolated and alone, only one man can save us and remind us what it is to be human – what it is to be alive – what it is to have our faces melted clean off with blistering guitar solos, comedy, and music. Cult comedian and musician Dave Hill brings us back from the brink with his much lauded off-Broadway show, Dave Hill’s Caveman in a Spaceship. The new show brings us even more jokes, stories, and super sick BMX tricks, and at least a couple brand-new-if-slightly-ill-advised pyrotechnics Dave cooked up at home as part of his court-ordered community service hours.  There is nothing to fear but Dave himself.
