See it if if you like high-energy stand-up comedy and you are open to accepting jokes on the Jewish culture and the US white supremacy.

"Edelman is a compelling, super-energetic performer, witheringly smart and laceratingly self-critical, expertly cranking and relaxing the throttle of his hectic narrative. He admits he wants us to like him, and it’d be extremely hard not to."

“It’s easy to see why the show has been such a success over the last few years, and on both sides of the Atlantic; Alex Edelman: Just For Us is a triumphant ninety minutes of storytelling perfection. It also happens to be side-splittingly funny.”

"It’s funnier than heck, each grim irony rammed home by Edelman, not least about his own behaviour, sitting silent for a whole hour, while fancying a pretty anti-Semite called Chelsea and nodding along with the others."

"If you're worried that this all sounds terribly didactic and un-funny then, rest assured, it's also a comedy cracker."
