Alex Edelman: What Are You Going To Do

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.”
