HBO Original Comedy Special ALEX EDELMAN: JUST FOR US Debuts April 6
· The HBO Original stand-up comedy special ALEX EDELMAN: JUST FOR US debuts SATURDAY, APRIL 6 at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on Max. Tony Award(R)-winning director Alex Timbers directed the special, which taped in front of a live audience on August 15 and August 16 at the Hudson Theatre in New York.
· About ALEX EDELMAN: JUST FOR US: After an acclaimed, extended run on Broadway, comedian Alex Edelman brings his solo show JUST FOR US to HBO and Max 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.
