Alex Edelman’s Just For Us is probably one of the most acclaimed live solo shows of this year (and last year) considering its several extensions Off Broadway and then ascending to Broadway. Edelman’s hilarious and captivating tale of sneaking into White Nationalists meetings as a Jewish person is already shot and scheduled to be released as a special, but it’s going on the road first.

One of Edelman’s first stops will be here in LA at the Mark Taper Forum in DTLA that, as far as comedy in recent memory goes, only Mike Birbiglia has played. It’s a big run, but don’t rest on your laurels to buy tickets because they’ll likely get bought up very, very fast.

This run for The Old Man and the Pool will happen at The Mark Taper Forum at the LA Music Center starting this week on Wed. Jul. 27th and running with dozens of performances through the end of August, closing specifically on Sun. Aug. 28th. Tickets are going for $30 right now and you ought to snag them here right now.
