Award-winning comedian and writer Alex Edelman releases his debut comedy album on 10th July, a collection of 22 jokes, entitled ‘Until Now’ via 800 Pound Gorilla Records /Ada Distribution.

I'm so excited as it will finally force people on social media to stop asking me when I'm going to put out an album."
Alex Edelman has postponed the rest of his Just For Us UK tour and has issued the following statement.
Boston comedian Alex Edelman has announced his first ever UK tour with his Edinburgh Comedy Award & Barry nominated show ‘Just For Us’.

Boston comedian Alex Edelman has topped the chart for the best-reviewed show at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Alex Edelman has been awarded a Herald Angel Award for his new show, Just For Us.
After receiving a Barry Award nomination in Australia, Just for Us comes to the Pleasance after Alex’s two-year break from the Edinburgh Fringe. The show ricochets from Edelman’s ADHD, a surprising encounter with Prince William at the BAFTAs, his newly-minted Olympian brother, what being “brave” means in this political climate, and a gorilla that can do sign language.
American comedian Alex Edelman is recording a new show for BBC Radio 4.
In Alex Edelman's Peer Group he asks if millennials are precious little snowflakes or are they far more robust than we give them credit for?
The show is being recorded at the BBC Radio Theatre in London on April 8 at 8pm.

You’ve got to have an angle when you do a full length Edinburgh Fringe show. Well, it’s maybe not compulsory but when putting together a string of stories it can help to stitch the narrative together and excite the judges. Alex Edelman’s 2015 show, which has finally transferred to London, has an angle but the young Bostonian is so skilful this would be a hugely enjoyable set even without one.
BBC Three has commissioned a brand new series of stand-up specials to showcase the most exciting new British comedy talent.
Live from the BBC will be filmed at the BBC’s Radio Theatre in Broadcasting House, London from November 13 - 15.

When you’ve set the bar extremely high where do you go from there? Alex Edelman’s debut Fringe show last year bagged him the Foster’s Best Newcomer Award. So now for the comedy equivalent of second album syndrome. Follow that.
Everything Handed To You On A Plate certainly confirms that 2014’s show was no fluke. The polite 26-year-old is as skilful as they come, weaving together stories and strands and coming up with another personal piece that both entertains and illuminates.
