After an acclaimed, extended run on Broadway, comedian Alex Edelman brings his solo show JUST FOR US to HBO 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.

Sal Cinquemani Slant Magazine With his first HBO special, the writer-comedian disarmingly balances satire, straight comedy, and old-fashioned pathos. Rated: 3.5/4 Mar 28, 2024 Full Review Bruce R. Miller Sioux City Journal A comedian to watch, Alex Edelman could expand upon this moment and create a series that would last for years. Now, though, “Just for Us” is one that can fuel countless conversations and great admiration. It's a keeper. Rated: 4/4 Apr 12, 2024 Full Review Sean L. McCarthy Decider Ultimately, the show wants us to be as hopeful as Edelman, while also reminding us that sometimes we need safe spaces to simply exist. And we sure need a lot of hope right now. Apr 9, 2024 Full Review Danielle Solzman Solzy at the Movies Alex Edelman: Just For Us is very funny and unapologetically Jewish in material. Rated: 5/5 Apr 5, 2024 Full Review Read all reviews

B M Brilliant! So many things beyond great comedy and stagecraft...will just say prepare to be stimulated and entertained. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 09/22/24 Full Review davidson i didnt laugh once, not sure Alex wants to be a philosopher or comedian??? he fails at both delivering boring monologues and weird style mimicking Seinfeld Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/11/24 Full Review Gerry G Maybe the best comedy act I’ve seen in years. Alex Edelman had my wife and I rolling in laughter for 85 minutes. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/30/24 Full Review Michael G One of the best stand-up comedy specials I've ever watched. It's alternately hilarious, unsettling, thought provoking, poignant, and profound. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Jeff B Actually created my Rotten Tomato account specifically to give Just For Us 5 stars. Brilliant. Funny. Powerful. Also- heartbreaking to see the hateful Youtube comments for the HBO trailer. All the more reason to see it. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/15/24 Full Review Read all reviews
