Alex Edelman: Just for Us

The standup of alex edelman. Lots of jewish jokes. And anti-semite jokes! Conversations about koko the gorilla... and when they told him robin williams had died. He's very animated... he never stops moving around the stage. How to deal with the haters, and nazi's... at their own meetings. Because he went to one! What to say in awkward conversations; jared kushner, and why he's so loud in temple. Alex's boston roots. His brother, the olympian. Jokes about the royal family. How hanukah really works, and why it's not better than christmas! Families, babies. Really funny. Good stuff. From new york city, on max streaming. Funny stuff. Directed by alex timbers.

Hands down the funniest comedy special I've seen in a really long time. SO GOOD!!!! I was laughing nonstop and was laughing so hard I was crying. And I watch a lot of comedy.

Kudos to Alex Edelman for being so honest and so brave not only in his comedy but as a human. We should all take notes.

I am telling all my friends to watch this and those that have already on my recommendation, all said "THIS IS SO GOOD!"

I look forward to his next project!

I missed seeing this live in the theatre and was bummed over that so I'm elated that I was able to see it on TV as this is truly incredibly funny stand up.

I'm rarely impressed by the new guys in stand up but you can see the PRO element in Alex's set right away. If he's not going to flop in the next one like Matt Rife did in his, i could see Alex Edelman right next to big names in the industry. ...

Best of comedy...takes you on a journey, and leaves you pondering in the end. Edelman makes a strong effort at sizing up elements of American culture, and particularly his intersection with it in his own identity. It's worth watching and thinking about. He tells a story in his standup, thoroughly excising tidbits of our cultural complex that formulate the jigsaw of Americanism. He shows why it's so difficult to be yourself in a society where performative SELF is a constant necessity, hiding or downplaying your identity in ways that might be unexpected to audiences unfamiliar with the straddling of whiteness.

Alex Edelman seems like he'd be perfect for a Big Mouth voice, I watched that series recently it's very good! Anyway I was interested in this the last weeks it's been advertised plenty on HBO. I like how bold Alex is, ironically too my name is Alex although the comedian is quite funny and very entertaining at his craft. I appreciate the mix of stories, cleanness, very silly, and sometimes bold mashed well. This is a great stand up I should watch more of them I miss a few classic ones like Dane Cook, Lewis Black, Jim Gaffigan, and Louis CK before he got cancelled. I'm not sure about others but I love this, glad autism is mentioned since I have it.
