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.
· About Alex Edelman: Edelman is a comedian and writer whose Orthodox Jewish upbringing has informed critically and commercially acclaimed work for the stage and screen.

At the start of the pandemic, he served as the head writer and executive producer of "Saturday Night Seder," a star-studded 70-minute YouTube special that has so far raised $3.5 million for the CDC Foundation (COVID-19) Emergency Response Fund.
