Alex Edelman’s Just For Us

Coca-Cola Stage
85 minutes without intermission
Best enjoyed by audiences 13+
“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

Starring Alex Edelman
Directed by Adam Brace
 

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 rhetoric 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.

By popular demand, a performance has been added Sunday, January 7 at 8:00 PM!
