About the show
One of the most critically hailed comedians of his generation, Alex Edelman is best known for solo shows that blur the line between his stand-up comedy roots and narrative-driven storytelling.
His last offering, Just For Us, played more than 500 performances all over the world – including acclaimed runs off- and on-Broadway. It premiered as an HBO original comedy special in April of 2024, earning him a place on the Time 100 list, a Tony Award, and an Emmy Award for Best Writing for a Variety Special.
Edelman appeared in Jerry Seinfeld’s directorial debut for Netflix, Unfrosted. Beyond stand-up, he writes regularly for TV and can currently seen starring in Peacock’s The Paper, a Greg Daniels-helmed spiritual successor to The Office. He also writes on the show as a Consulting Producer.
