Alex Edelman, To The MAX! And HBO!

Naked Lunch

To celebrate his brilliantly funny and profound one man show "Just For Us" coming to HBO this Saturday night at 10PM and then streaming on MAX after that, Phil and David are revisiting their wonderful "Lunch" with internationally touring comedian Alex Edelman whose acclaimed, brilliantly funny one man show, "Just For Us" opened off-Broadway in 2022 before premiering on Broadway in 2023; it was named "New York Times" Critic’s Pick both times and has already won an Obie. Alex broke bread -- okay, Courage Bagels -- at Phil's house. Alex brought along a surprise mutual friend, the great TV writer Jenji Kohan (creator of "Weeds" and "Orange Is The New Black") who will be a future guest. Please note: this free-flowing and fun conversation -- in which Norman Lear is discussed -- was recorded shortly before Lear's recent death.
