About Alex Edelman: Just For Us
Alex Edelman's Just For Us is just for you. After sold-out performances worldwide, the hit stand-up show comes to London in early 2023.
Just For Us arrives in London after nearly a year of New York performances. While Stateside, Just For Us picked up celebrity fans like Billy Crystal and Ben Stiller. It impressed critics too, with a five-star review on New York Theatre Guide commenting “all the themes weave into a high-level message about the limits of human empathy and our oft-futile desire to change people.”
A comedy show about Jewishness and anti-Semitic hate may not seem like a topic for hilarity at first. But, as Edelman reveals how he infiltrated a meeting of white supremacists and spoke to them face-to-face, meeting your haters is perhaps the best thing you could possibly do. There’s also family-based anecdotes; hosting Christmas as a Jewish person, his Olympic athlete brother AJ, and gorillas. All these stories come together to explore the power of online communication and what “us” can mean.
Discover the astonishing and frighteningly relevant story for yourself.
