PRESENTED BY TINA EDWARDS

Recipient of Best Newcomer Award at Edinburgh Fringe

Hotly tipped New Yorker, Alex Edelman, makes his Edinburgh Festival debut this year with his show ‘Millennial’ at the Pleasance Courtyard. A recent college graduate, he has also lived in Boston, LA and Jerusalem! The Boston Globe, has described him as having “natural comic timing” and has qualities “wonderful to see in a young comedian.”

Alex Edelman has just turned twenty-five. That fact on its own doesn’t tell you a lot, but these days, it actually means quite a bit. It means that, in comparison to other generations, he’s more likely to be multi-racial (he’s not), in favour of gay marriage (he is), Chinese (he’s not), and a college graduate (he is, and really, that’s kind of what the show is about).

In 2014, being twenty-five means that Alex fits squarely into an age group people in the United States refer to as “Millennials.” Millennials are anyone born between 1983 and 1999, and to advertisers and journalists both; they’re the most puzzled-over and sought-after generation group. Brands sell to them in the dumbest and most irritating ways. For Alex, like many of his peers, it’s been a tumultuous couple of years since college. He’s had a cancer scare, a few jobs, some fights with customer service representatives, before settling into where he is now, a full-time comedian.
