ALEX EDELMAN: JUST FOR US Debuts On MAX This April
We are starting a petition to have Alex Edelelman have a residency on Broadway. HBO will debut comedian Alex Edelman’s solo show Alex Edelman: Just For Us this April, following its critically acclaimed Broadway run. Tony Award-winning director Alex Timbers directed the special, which taped in front of a live audience on Tuesday, August 15th and Wednesday, August 16th at the Hudson Theatre in New York.
“You know, when I was in high school, I saw John Updike give a talk and he said ‘if you’re lucky, the work that you write might at some point find itself in conversation with the times in which you live.’ And, well, call me Mr. Lucky.” says Alex Edelman.
After an acclaimed, extended run on Broadway, comedian Alex Edelman brings his solo show Just For Us to HBO in an all-new comedy special. In the wake of a string of anti-Semitic threats pointed in his direction online, Edelman decides to go straight to the source; specifically, Queens, where he covertly attends a meeting of White Nationalists and comes face-to-face with the people behind the keyboards. What happens next forms the backbone of the shockingly relevant, utterly hilarious, timely, and only moderately perspirant stories that comprise Just For Us.
