Alex Edelman’s JUST FOR US to Transfer to Broadway

Agreed, wholeheartedly. I saw it in London and it was v funny/sharp, but then hits you in the gut. Im skeptical he will be able to sell that size of a theater, for this long, after so many NY (and DC, and Boston) engagements, but more power to him.

I loved this when I saw it at the Cherry Lane Theater - highly recommend it to everyone!

I don't think Google is needed, I think this person wanted us to understand how cool and awesome they are, so much so that they can't even be bothered to know who Alex Edelman is, and they've clearly succeeded.

I'm sure not pretending that at all. Genuine questions about him, the show, etc., would be a whole different thing.

“I think it was funny when willep said "Who?" and that you all need to CTFO.”



you really didn’t have to out yourself as a fool as well, yet you seemed more than comfortable doing so!

OK, then let's also not pretend that anyone who is able to navigate their way to a BWW chat room doesn't also have the intellectual capacity to google a name, rather than post a snarky comment.

"Who?" is a common retort when someone mentioned is unfamiliar to (or not seen as very noteworthy by) the person making the comment. It usually is not meant literally since anyone could Google the name as you note.

It has been used here many times by many people over the years, often accompanied by the Mariah Carey meme GIF. And comments that some construe as snark fuels much of these threads."

So you correctly identify what the word "who" means, but you put the lame snarkiness in parentheses: if you dont know who Alex Edelman is, cool! Its impossible to post on this site without being simultaneously able to figure out who he is within a matter or seconds.

So here "who" meant "thats not even someone whose name I, random commenter on a message board, recognize!" Hence the well-deserved snarky response, because either this person has some personal beef with Alex Edelman that they should work out elsewhere, OR they just want everyone to know how not-famous-enough Alex Edelman is (as his hit show embarks on its 7th or 8th engagement...) Y

our faux-confused reaction to this snarky stupidity is not much better.

Also was the director for One Woman Show which was getting a NYC run around the same time Just For Us was starting on Broadway
