A Jew accidentally stumbles upon a gathering of white nationalists. For most, this would be a cause for concern, but for Alex Edelman it’s an opportunity for a hit one-man comedy show. “I always wanted to be a stand-up. I always thought that stand-up was the most fun, cool, delightful thing.” Edelman’s new HBO comedy special Just for Us (April 6) follows his successful Broadway run, where the comedian shares the impact this accidental meeting had on him. “I’d never want to be famous, but I’ve always wanted—and this feels grosser—but I’ve always wanted the respect of my peers.” And he’s gotten it, with many celebrities attending his sold-out shows. Edelman says his show is for everyone. “Judaism is a huge part of who I am. I’m very proud of it generally. But I perform for non-Jewish audiences. So being a public Jew, it’s put me in a position to speak to young Jews in a way that I wish I had been spoken to.” After six years of doing the show, Edelman is looking forward to other creative pursuits. “My brain is going to have to start gathering again.”
