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 internationally, including on Broadway, before premiering as an HBO original comedy special. The show earned him a spot on the TIME 100 list, a Tony Award, and an Emmy Award.
His writing credits include “The Great Indoors” on CBS, “Teenage Bounty Hunters” on Netflix, and the special “Saturday Night Seder,” which raised over $3.5 million for the CDC Covid-19 Emergency Relief Fund. He has written for outlets such as The Atlantic and ESPN’s “30 for 30” series and spent more than a decade working as a speechwriter for the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Boston Red Sox.
Edelman can currently be seen starring in “The Paper,” Greg Daniels’s spinoff of “The Office.”
