Things to do
- 'Just For Us': Comedian Alex Edelman combines a natural, light-on-his-feet approach to stand-up comedy with a serious presence made for the theater in his one-man show Just For Us back after a sold-out December run for a few more nights at the Mark Taper Forum. The tight 90 minutes about his encounter with a White Nationalist group are funny, heartwarming, terrifying, and relevant. But don’t fret if you missed out on tickets, the show was filmed for HBO and will also be at your streaming fingertips in April.
