Funny You Should Mention Season 2 - Alex Edelman

Comedian Alex Edelman joins this episode of Funny You Should Mention. Alex's hit one-man show Just For Us was a Broadway sensation and is now streaming on Max. In this conversation, we talk about the anatomy of a bad set, the five constituencies for a joke, and what it takes to turn a pile of bits into a fully realized piece of theater. Plus: how being "right" can be the biggest obstacle to being funny.
