HBO Original Comedy Special ALEX EDELMAN: JUST FOR US Debuts April 6
· The HBO Original stand-up comedy special ALEX EDELMAN: JUST FOR US debuts SATURDAY, APRIL 6 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on Max. Tony Award(R)-winning director Alex Timbers directed the special, which taped in front of a live audience on August 15 and August 16 at the Hudson Theatre in New York.
· About ALEX EDELMAN: JUST FOR US: After an acclaimed, extended run on Broadway, comedian Alex Edelman brings his solo show JUST FOR US to HBO and Max in an all-new comedy special. In the wake of a string of anti-Semitic threats pointed in his direction online, 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, timely, and only moderately perspirant stories that comprise JUST FOR US.
· About Alex Edelman: Edelman is a comedian and writer whose Orthodox Jewish upbringing has informed critically and commercially acclaimed work for the stage and screen. He has three prior award-winning, sold-out shows in London's West End and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. At the start of the pandemic, he served as the head writer and executive producer of "Saturday Night Seder," a star-studded 70-minute YouTube special that has so far raised $3.5 million for the CDC Foundation (COVID-19) Emergency Response Fund.
· Credits: Performed and executive produced by Alex Edelman; directed and executive produced by Alex Timbers; executive produced by Mike Birbiglia; and executive produced by Above Average's Marc Lieberman and Ally Engelberg.
