‘Just For Us’ Star Alex Edelman On How The Lessons He Learned At The Edinburgh Fringe Festival Evolved Into An HBO Hit — Fresh Face
'Just For Us' Alex Edelman talks about how the comedy lessons he learned at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival evolved into an HBO hit — Fresh Face.
In the 90-minute special, Edelman goes from telling jokes about Koko the Gorilla’s love for Robin Williams, to tales of his Winter Olympian brother and his unconventional childhood Christmas, as well as a centerpiece about attending a meeting of White Nationalists. Harris went on to become showrunner of the Frasier reboot and Feldman created Netflix’s Dead to Me, while creator Mike Gibbons recently wrote on The Roast of Tom Brady. Together with Edelman, Kohan, who created Weeds and Orange Is the New Black, has written a script based on Chaim Potok’s book My Name Is Asher Lev, about a loner Jewish boy in New York who has artistic inclinations and ambitions that cause conflict with members of his family and community.
