The Adolph & Rose Levis JCC (Levis JCC) will bring ACL Live! An Evening with Alex Edelman to audiences on Saturday, March 15 at 6 p.m.

Guests will experience one of comedy's most distinctive voices of this generation, as Edelman blends sharp stand-up with personal storytelling, combining laughter with moments of insight and connection. Edelman is the first performer to headline ACL Live!, Levis JCC's newly launched signature Arts, Culture & Learning event designed to bring top-tier performers to the Levis JCC stage year after year.

Recognized by Time magazine as one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2024, Edelman is a Tony Award-winning and Emmy Award-winning comedian known for his sharp wit, thoughtful insight and narrative-driven storytelling. His acclaimed solo show Just for Us played on Broadway and was later adapted into an HBO special, earning widespread praise for its intelligence, humor and cultural relevance.

“This is a truly special opportunity for our community,” said Stephanie Owitz, director of Arts, Culture and Learning at the Levis JCC. “Alex Edelman's work resonates far beyond the stage. Bringing an artist of his caliber to Boca Raton reflects our commitment to offering world-class cultural experiences that inspire conversation, connection and joy.”
