Alex Edelman is tired, though he has a good excuse – two actually. The first is that the award-winning American comedian only flew into London the day before on a red-eye from New York and he is gripped by jet lag. The other is he was sitting in a pub until 3am, some nine hours before we meet, watching the Golden Globes.
This was no idle interest in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s showpiece ceremony, but rather he was supporting his girlfriend Hannah Einbinder, who was up for a best supporting actress award for her role in the superb Hacks. That she didn’t ultimately win “was a bummer”, he says, looking pained.
