Alex Edelman
One of the most critically hailed comedians of his generation, Alex Edelman is best known for solo shows that blur the line between his stand-up comedy roots and narrative-driven storytelling. His last offering, JUST FOR US, played more than 500 performances all over the world, including on Broadway before premiering as an HBO original comedy special in April of 2024 earning him a place on the Time 100 list, a Tony Award, and an Emmy award. Edelman appeared in Jerry Seinfeld’s directorial debut for Netflix, UNFROSTED. He is currently developing a movie with A24 that he will write, direct and star in with Marc Platt and Steven Levenson producing.
