New York Times Critic’s Pick

San Francisco Chronicle’s highest rating

Superb! Just for Us has been chiseled to diamond-cut perfection. It’s a joyous, uproarious 90-minute show from one of the funniest minds of this generation — or any generation.

The Washington Post

HILARIOUS! A one-man show with three-jokes-per-minute. (Yes, I laughed at every one.)

The New York Times

This is brilliant comedy. A ROLLICKING, MUST-SEE WORK OF GENIUS. Alex Edelman is peerless.

Daily Beast

HILARIOUS AND IRRESISTIBLE.

Variety

 

Expertly crafted by one of comedy’s most distinctive voices, this singular theatrical experience is an exploration of identity and our collective capacity for empathy — and it’s also “belly-laugh funny!” (The New York Times). In the wake of a string of anti-Semitic threats pointed in his direction online, standup comic 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, and only moderately perspirant stories that comprise Just for Us.
