Alex Edelman has spent six years revising and performing 'Just for Us,' but now he's ending it with an encore run in L.A. that coincides with its HBO special on April 6.

Not everyone wakes up to an avalanche of antisemitic tweets and then decides to attend a meeting of white nationalists in New York City. Because, well, not everyone is Alex Edelman, who has recounted the evening hundreds of times onstage in his hilarious and thought-provoking hit show 'Just for Us.

Doing it can be a wrenching experience, but I've loved it. I'm lucky to have good friends who buoy me through the more stressful times. And from a technical perspective, the Christmas story. It's very fun to do. It's my favorite bit, but it's extremely high energy; it's gotta balance fast and slow and it's unlike anything I've ever done before. Adam always said it was his favorite piece of stand-up he's ever worked on.
