It may be too much to ask a human hummingbird like Alex Edelman to try to stick to the subject.
In “Just for Us,” his three-jokes-per-minute one-man show, he zooms from punchline to punchline almost as fast as he caroms around the stage of the Hudson Theater.
(At 34, he’s part of what he calls the overmedicated ADHD generation.)
And even though he’s telling a story about white supremacy, you are.
Growing up a “proudly and emphatically” Orthodox Jew in “this really racist part of Boston called Boston,” he clocked the wariness between races but also within them.
