The standup of alex edelman. Lots of jewish jokes. And anti-semite jokes! Conversations about koko the gorilla... and when they told him robin williams had died. He's very animated... he never stops moving around the stage. How to deal with the haters, and nazi's... at their own meetings. Because he went to one! What to say in awkward conversations; jared kushner, and why he's so loud in temple. Alex's boston roots. His brother, the olympian. Jokes about the royal family. How hanukah really works, and why it's not better than christmas! Families, babies. Really funny. Good stuff. From new york city, on max streaming. Funny stuff. Directed by alex timbers.

The best way to describe this is performance standup. This is a much loved Broadway "show" that everyone was trying to get their friends to go see and raving about everywhere. Alex also toured this show to a few cities but never reached me and I'm so glad I'm getting to see it here. It reminds me of the great Hannah Gadsby sets where a general theme is presented, expanded on, digressed from and told in a story manner. The callbacks are brilliant and I have never sat in my living room and howled, snorted and spilled my beverage to anyone before. This is smart performance, physical humor that eclipses all those high paid comedians who aren't really funny (they know who they are). I hope he comes up with another show and we get to journey again with him. I will introduce this to friends and watch is over and over.

Best of comedy...takes you on a journey, and leaves you pondering in the end. Edelman makes a strong effort at sizing up elements of American culture, and particularly his intersection with it in his own identity. It's worth watching and thinking about. He tells a story in his standup, thoroughly excising tidbits of our cultural complex that formulate the jigsaw of Americanism. He shows why it's so difficult to be yourself in a society where performative SELF is a constant necessity, hiding or downplaying your identity in ways that might be unexpected to audiences unfamiliar with the straddling of whiteness.

And overall extremely entertaining, i don't know if it's the hyper polish ((that's polish as in rub till smooth, not.. You know - Warsaw haha (sorry)) after being on Broadway and all but Sheesh-what a show! And yes, I'm a Jew or more accurately Jew-ish and it should be stipulated that this adds to the experience, cause we can relate to so much of this, even with the 'ish' suffix in full bloom -and I wanna add that there's an element of vainglorious pride watching and hearing Alex, so understand there is some bias but objectively I would and will recommend this. (and of you are wondering about the 8, well... That's high for me, i reserve tens for stuff like Attenborough documentaries and thr 9s goto Rick and Morty sooo)

I'm rarely impressed by the new guys in stand up but you can see the PRO element in Alex's set right away. If he's not going to flop in the next one like Matt Rife did in his, i could see Alex Edelman right next to big names in the industry. ... Alex Edelman's 'Just for Us' comedy special is a revelation in the world of stand-up. From start to finish, Edelman captivates with his sharp wit, clever observations, and genuine charm. His ability to weave together personal anecdotes with astute social commentary creates a truly engaging experience for the audience. One of the standout features of Edelman's performance is his impeccable timing. Whether he's delivering a punchline or setting up a joke, his delivery is flawless, keeping the audience laughing and engaged throughout. His mastery of storytelling adds depth to his humor, allowing viewers to both laugh and reflect on the absurdities of life. What truly sets 'Just for Us' apart is Edelman's fearlessness in tackling sensitive topics. He fearlessly dives into issues ranging from relationships to politics, offering insightful perspectives that challenge conventional thinking. Yet, he manages to approach these topics with a refreshing blend of honesty and humor, making even the most controversial subjects accessible and relatable. Furthermore, Edelman's stage presence is magnetic. His infectious energy fills the room, drawing the audience into his world with ease. Whether he's recounting awkward encounters or sharing personal anecdotes, his authenticity shines through, creating a genuine connection with viewers. Overall, 'Just for Us' is a must-watch comedy special that showcases Alex Edelman's immense talent and unique voice. It's a refreshing departure from the ordinary, offering a comedic experience that is both thought-provoking and thoroughly entertaining. Bravo to Edelman for delivering a standout performance that leaves audiences laughing, thinking, and eagerly awaiting his next act.

I've never even heard of this guy, & now it's safe to say I'm a huge fan. I'm so happy to have found this as I needed something really good & this certainly qualifies. He reminded me of mix between maybe Nick Kroll & M. Broderick? But then I got my friend to watch it (they also loved & appreciated it) & they mentioned him being similar to the energy, wit & stage presence of Paul Reuben's & Robin Williams (I agree!). So clever & entertaining! He mixes a good balance of important issues with great, well timed comedy. Being Jewish, Nazis etc. Tough topics & still sprinkles fun stories within other stories. I loved all of it & would highly recommend.

Hands down the funniest comedy special I've seen in a really long time. SO GOOD!!!! I was laughing nonstop and was laughing so hard I was crying. And I watch a lot of comedy. Kudos to Alex Edelman for being so honest and so brave not only in his comedy but as a human. We should all take notes. I am telling all my friends to watch this and those that have already on my recommendation, all said "THIS IS SO GOOD!" I look forward to his next project! I missed seeing this live in the theatre and was bummed over that so I'm elated that I was able to see it on TV as this is truly incredibly funny stand up.

Alex Edelman seems like he'd be perfect for a Big Mouth voice, I watched that series recently it's very good! Anyway I was interested in this the last weeks it's been advertised plenty on HBO. I like how bold Alex is, ironically too my name is Alex although the comedian is quite funny and very entertaining at his craft. I appreciate the mix of stories, cleanness, very silly, and sometimes bold mashed well. This is a great stand up I should watch more of them I miss a few classic ones like Dane Cook, Lewis Black, Jim Gaffigan, and Louis CK before he got cancelled. I'm not sure about others but I love this, glad autism is mentioned since I have it.

I made it to the 20 minute mark and bailed. The guy is just not funny. Talks fast and says nothing. His bits are long-winded with no pay off. Couldn't even muster a smirk. Don't waste your time. Probably the worst comedian I've seen in a long time. No cringe for cringe's sake just unfunny. Pretty sure this guy has got a relative who helped him out. THere's no way he could've gotten a show on his own. Rambling about being jewish like anybody cares about that one way or the other. As neurotic as he was, Woody Allen was a funny stand-up. This guy is no woody allen, maybe wooden edelman would be more appropriate. Like watching paint dry.
