“Deliciously funny” – The New York Times
Acclaimed US comedian Alex Edelman brings his hilarious one-man show Alex Edelman: Just for Us to the Menier Chocolate Factory this Winter.
Just For Us features hilarious anecdotes from Alex Edelman’s life: from his Olympian brother AJ, to an unconventional holiday season, and a gorilla that can do sign language!
At the centre of the show is an astonishing and frighteningly relevant story. After a string of anti-Semitic abuse is directed at Edelman online, he decides to covertly attend a gathering of White Nationalists in New York City and comes face to face with the people behind the keyboards. The result is a hair-raising encounter that gives Just For Us its title and final, jaw-dropping twist.
Alex Edelman: Just for Us runs at the Menier Chocolate Factory from 11 January to 26 February 2023.
