Alex Edelman is the toast of Broadway this morning.
After one short run on Broadway in the summer of 2023, Edelman has been awarded an honorary Tony. “Just for Us,” which lasted two months, is his only Broadway credit.
His producer on “Just for Us,” Mike Birbiglia, has had two Broadway runs and no special Tony Awards.
Edelman, 35, makes a cameo appearance in the new Jerry Seinfeld movie, “Unfrosted,” which drops tonight.
Much of Edelman’s material centers on his Jewishness and his relationship to the LGBTQ community.
Getting a Tony with such a short resume is quite an achievement. But it runs in the family. His brother is an Olympic bobsledding athlete from Israel.
Mazel tov!
