Alex Edelman: Just for Us (2024)
Thoughtful and incisive
13 April 2024 - 5 out of 7 users found this review helpful.
Best of comedy...takes you on a journey, and leaves you pondering in the end. Edelman makes a strong effort at sizing up elements of American culture, and particularly his intersection with it in his own identity. It's worth watching and thinking about. He tells a story in his standup, thoroughly excising tidbits of our cultural complex that formulate the jigsaw of Americanism. He shows why it's so difficult to be yourself in a society where performative SELF is a constant necessity, hiding or downplaying your identity in ways that might be unexpected to audiences unfamiliar with the straddling of whiteness.
