Alex Halevi Edelman[1][2] (born March 20, 1989) is an American stand-up comedian based in New York City. He is an internationally touring comic and found early success in the United Kingdom where he was named Best Newcomer at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.[3] He has toured three shows since 2014: Millennial (2014–2015), Everything Handed to You (2015–2016), and Just for Us (2018–2020; 2023–2024[4]). Just for Us opened Off-Broadway in 2022 before premiering on Broadway in 2023; it was named a NYT Critic’s Pick both times.[5]

Biography

Edelman was born in Boston to Cheryl, a real estate lawyer,[6] and Elazer R. Edelman, a biomedical engineer, cardiologist, and professor. He has two brothers, Austin, and Israeli Olympian Adam Edelman.[7] He was raised in Brookline, Massachusetts.[8] He began performing stand-up at age 15.[9] He attended and graduated from Maimonides School in Brookline, an Orthodox Jewish based school. A baseball fan, he also worked for the Boston Red Sox and Los Angeles Dodgers associations as a teenager.[8][10]

Edelman grew up in a Modern-Orthodox Jewish family and, following high school, spent a year in a yeshiva in Jerusalem. During his time there, he helped to establish the city's first comedy club, Off the Wall Comedy. In 2008,[10] he moved to New York City to study English at New York University[8] and graduated in 2012.[11] The photographer Mario Tama took his photo during graduation, which was featured in his special Millennial. During college, he continued to perform stand-up and later joined Upright Citizens Brigade.[11] He first performed in the UK in 2012 while studying abroad.[12][8] He made his Australian debut in 2015.[13]

His show Millennial won the Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Newcomer at the 2014 Edinburgh Festival Fringe,[3] the first American to do so since Arj Barker won in 1997.[3] Edelman's 2015 Edinburgh Fringe show was titled Everything Handed to You and was the second most well-reviewed show at that year's festival.[14] His 2018 show, Just For Us, was nominated for the Best Show award at the Edinburgh Fringe.[15] He has appeared in the UK on television shows such as The John Bishop Show, Alan Davies: As Yet Untitled, Live from the BBC, Roast Battle, and contributed several anecdotes about his experiences as a comedian to the 2015 book Off the Mic, by Deborah Frances-White and Marsha Shandur. He has done a BBC Radio 4 comedy series called Alex Edelman's Peer Group.

As a comedy writer, he has contributed to the American television shows The Great Indoors (2016–2017) and Teenage Bounty Hunters (2020). Edelman was the head writer for Saturday Night Seder, a virtual celebrity Passover seder held during the COVID-19 pandemic. He also trained rabbis to infuse humor into the High Holiday services as part of the Jewish communal response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[16]

Personal life

In Just for Us, Edelman quips, "If I was raised secular I would consider myself bisexual. But because I was raised religious, I consider myself straight with some secrets."[17] Edelman had an on-again, off-again relationship with Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan.[18]
