"Edelman, who won an Obie and a Special Tony for his stand-up show "Just For Us," about attending a meeting of Nazis as an Orthodox Jew (it became the HBO original comedy special "Alex Edelman: Just For Us," for which he won an Emmy), is back on the road and adding new dates for his current show, "What Are You Going to Do.""
"The perfect Sunday, for Edelman, is always a little bit different, with currents of consistency woven through. (He calls himself a "recommendation machine," which feels accurate.) There's always a hike. There are always friends involved. There's always food. There are plenty of laughs. But for all the tried-and-true recs, novelty is important too. "I guess my headline is, Sunday's the day to try new things," he says."
"On the weekends, I like to walk. The only thing left to do on planet Earth apparently is to get coffee. Do you know that our whole lives revolve around a series of silly little coffees? I only drink espresso drinks, which is a fact about me, which is very boring. I might walk between coffee stations, like a man journeying between oases. I'll walk down and I'll get to All Time and be like, do I want a coffee."
Alex Edelman plays accountant/reporter Adam Cooper on The Paper, a mockumentary spinoff of The Office about reviving the Toledo Truth-Teller. Edelman also served as a writer and consulting producer for the series, which premieres on Peacock Sept. 4 with all 10 episodes. Production provided Edelman with a valued routine while in Los Angeles. Edelman won an Obie, a Special Tony and an Emmy for his stand-up work and is currently touring his show What Are You Going to Do. Edelman is writing a nonfiction book titled I Don't Belong Here and describes Sundays as hikes, friends, food and trying new things, often beginning with a coffee walk.
