Alex Edelman’s Just for Us

Returns to The Mark Taper Forum

“Please, allow this sly, daring, genuinely congenial comic to talk his way into your theatrical life.” -- Los Angeles Times 

“BELLY-LAUGH FUNNY!” -- The New York Times 

“HILARIOUS AND IRRESISTIBLE.” -- Variety 

“One of the best things I’ve seen in the [Mark Taper Forum] in years.” -- Los Angeles Times 

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.   

“HILARIOUS! A one-man show with three-jokes-per-minute. (Yes, I laughed at everyone.)” -- The New York Times 

“In a word? GO! Seriously. Get thee to the Mark Taper Forum tonight or any of the performances that Alex Edelman is doing through November 26. Edelman’s “Just For Us” is a do not miss, must-see, one-man show that is high-octane, non-stop, side-splitting entertainment from start to its chef’s kiss finish.” -- South Pasadenan
