Just For Us

Mar 14 – Apr 23, 2022

A few years ago, the Jewish comedian Alex Edelman received a tweet inviting him to a neo-Nazi meetup in Queens. To the Twitter troll’s surprise, Edelman went. This true story is now the premise for Edelman’s third solo show, Just For Us. Blending theater and stand-up comedy, the performance recounts his evening. He flirts with a pretty girl, eats a “whites-only muffin,” watches a lady complete a jigsaw puzzle. And then he reveals he’s Jewish. The 75-minute show is directed by Adam Brace. —Jensen Davis
