Alex Edelman: Just For Us

Alex Edelman’s acclaimed solo show is making it’s off-Broadway debut after it premiered at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, garnering a Barry Award nomination for best show. Since then, the show has played award-winning runs at London’s Soho Theater and at the prestigious Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where it earned the Herald Angel Award.

Just For Us takes us through hilarious anecdotes from Edelman’s life —  his Olympian brother AJ, an unconventional holiday season, and a gorilla that can do sign language — but at its center is an astonishing and frighteningly relevant story. After a string of anti-Semitic abuse is directed at Edelman online, he decides to covertly attend a gathering of White Nationalists in New York City and comes face to face with the alt-right abusers. The result is a hair-raising encounter that gives ‘Just for Us’ its title and final, jaw-dropping twist.
