Episode description
Alex Edelman has just won a Tony award for his Broadway solo stand-up show "Just for Us" that he also turned into a HBO special. In this encore presentation from April, Edelman talks about exploring antisemitism through humor in the hit show and why the special “felt conversant with the moment but also sort of an escape from” Hamas’s October 7 attack.
