Following acclaimed runs in New York, London, Edinburgh, Melbourne, Boston, and Washington D.C., as well as a six-time extended Off-Broadway engagement leading into Broadway, Alex Edelman’s JUST FOR US finally goes on tour.
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.
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 — oh, and it’s also “belly-laugh funny!” (The New York Times)
“Uproarious! Among Edelman’s many strengths as a writer and performer is an exceptional eye for the absurd.” (The New Yorker)
“Brisk, smart, and belly-laugh funny!”
“Uproarious! Among Edelman’s many strengths as a writer and performer is an eye for the absurd.”
“HILARIOUS AND IRRESISTIBLE.”
“Get your ass to Edelman’s smart, funny, and surprisingly poignant solo show.”
“SHEER STORYTELLING BRAVADO.
A raconteur who has a remarkable ability to walk right up to the abyss, peer in—and walk away with jokes to tell.”
“It's a mitzvah this show has moved to Broadway!”
“Exquisitely crafted, deliciously funny.”
