After an acclaimed extended run on Broadway, comedian Alex Edelman brings his solo show to HBO in an all-new comedy special.
HBO will debut comedian Alex Edelman’s solo show ALEX EDELMAN: JUST FOR US this April, following its critically acclaimed Broadway run. A Critic’s Pick, The New York Times described JUST FOR US as “Brisk, smart, and belly-laugh funny.” Tony Award(R)-winning director Alex Timbers directed the special, which taped in front of a live audience on Tuesday, August 15 and Wednesday, August 16 at the Hudson Theatre in New York.
Alex Edelman, star and executive producer, quote: “You know, when I was in high school, I saw John Updike give a talk and he said ‘if you’re lucky, the work that you write might at some point find itself in conversation with the times in which you live.’ And, well, call me Mr. Lucky.”
Nina Rosenstein, Executive Vice President, HBO Programming, Late Night and Specials, quote: “Alex is a truly brilliant writer and storyteller. JUST FOR US is a thought-provoking and powerful show that stays with you long after you see it, and we’re thrilled to bring it to our audience.”
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.
