Seattle theatergoers are in for a treat. Award-winning comedian and storyteller Alex Edelman is bringing his brand-new solo show, What Are You Going To Do, to Seattle Rep’s Leo K. Theater for a limited, four-performance run from May 8–10, 2026.

If you caught his last show, Just for Us, on HBO (or at the Hudson Theatre on Broadway), you already know why this is a must-see. That special catapulted Edelman to comedy stardom, scoring him a 2024 Special Tony Award and an Emmy after playing over 500 shows worldwide. He is a master at blending traditional stand-up with personal storytelling. His newest show promises more of that same magic, mixing sharp humor with real-life observations.

This is a big get for Seattle Rep. Getting to see a comedian of Edelman’s caliber in the intimate, cozy Leo K. Theater is a rare opportunity. Here’s hoping the Rep keeps rolling out special engagements just like this one.

With only four performances over a single weekend, these tickets are going to fly. Don’t sit on this one, tickets are on sale now.
