    A Jew walks into a Broadway theater...

    The best way to describe this is performance standup. This is a much loved Broadway "show" that everyone was trying to get their friends to go see and raving about everywhere. Alex also toured this show to a few cities but never reached me and I'm so glad I'm getting to see it here. It reminds me of the great Hannah Gadsby sets where a general theme is presented, expanded on, digressed from and told in a story manner. The callbacks are brilliant and I have never sat in my living room and howled, snorted and spilled my beverage to anyone before. This is smart performance, physical humor that eclipses all those high paid comedians who aren't really funny (they know who they are). I hope he comes up with another show and we get to journey again with him. I will introduce this to friends and watch is over and over.

    Can you believe it?

    Surprising find. Engaging and clever performance. He follows tangents but unfailingly ties it all back and returns to the deliver the central story. I had never heard of Alex Edelman but was fishing around on streaming services hoping to find another engaging stand up comedy performance, dipping my toe in for 10 or 15 minutes and finding so many duds. I found this show very entertaining and have watched it twice now. I had checked out all the comedians interviewed by Seinfeld on Cars and coffee, Bill Burr and friends, HBO specials, Netflix specials... found some gems to be sure, but so, so many disappointments. You can only watch so many stand up sets filled with content the performer is claiming is off bounds and cannot be joked about, but oh so bravely soldiers regardless for the entire show. Some can pull this off with real talent, but that's the exceptional performers. This will be too left for some and too intellectual for others, Edelman is clearly highly intelligent and this is a tight and incredibly well polished show. Highly recommended. I look forward to his future work.

    Excellent set. A breath of fresh air on the stand up scene! 👏🏻

    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. ... Alex Edelman's 'Just for Us' comedy special is a revelation in the world of stand-up. From start to finish, Edelman captivates with his sharp wit, clever observations, and genuine charm. His ability to weave together personal anecdotes with astute social commentary creates a truly engaging experience for the audience.

    One of the standout features of Edelman's performance is his impeccable timing. Whether he's delivering a punchline or setting up a joke, his delivery is flawless, keeping the audience laughing and engaged throughout. His mastery of storytelling adds depth to his humor, allowing viewers to both laugh and reflect on the absurdities of life.

    What truly sets 'Just for Us' apart is Edelman's fearlessness in tackling sensitive topics. He fearlessly dives into issues ranging from relationships to politics, offering insightful perspectives that challenge conventional thinking. Yet, he manages to approach these topics with a refreshing blend of honesty and humor, making even the most controversial subjects accessible and relatable.

    Furthermore, Edelman's stage presence is magnetic. His infectious energy fills the room, drawing the audience into his world with ease. Whether he's recounting awkward encounters or sharing personal anecdotes, his authenticity shines through, creating a genuine connection with viewers.

    Overall, 'Just for Us' is a must-watch comedy special that showcases Alex Edelman's immense talent and unique voice. It's a refreshing departure from the ordinary, offering a comedic experience that is both thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining. Bravo to Edelman for delivering a standout performance that leaves audiences laughing, thinking, and eagerly awaiting his next act.

    Alex Edelman: Just for Us - A Hilarious and Insightful Journey

    Alex Edelman truly knows how to tell a story. In "Just for Us," he masterfully weaves tales from his own life and experiences. While his family has certainly provided him with some memorable anecdotes, none quite compare to the pivotal event that inspired this remarkable show.

    This particular performance centers on one extraordinary event: Edelman, a Jewish man, attends a meeting of white nationalists. His motivation? To "understand" them - to grasp their perspectives and the roots of their beliefs. One might question the thoroughness of his pre-meeting contemplation; personally, I wouldn't have ventured within a mile of such a gathering. However, because he did, we are gifted with a collection of incredibly funny and insightful stories.

    I cannot recommend this show enough. Take the hour and a half to relax and immerse yourself in this amazing narrative. You certainly won't regret it.

    SO HYSTERICAL AND POIGNANT

    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.
