Brett Goldstein

Brett Goldstein is an actor and a writer who turned to stand up because he was bored of depressing people through plays. "If I could depress them through the medium of laughter..." he thought, "that would be something..."

Brett arrived onto the comedy scene with a bang in 2006. Since then he has been a finalist and semi finalist in every major comedy competition going. In 2007 he was selected to appear in the Comedy Reserve, the Pleasance's "Best of New comedy" showcase at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.  In Edinburgh 2009, he MC'ed the Big Value Comedy Show in The Caves.

In 2011 he took his debut solo show, "Brett Goldstein Grew Up In A Strip Club" to Edinburgh where it recieved rave reviews and played to sell out audiences.

Brett is currently gigging all over the shop, from the Covent Garden Comedy Club, to supporting Patrick Monahan at the Royal Albert Hall.

He is the resident compere at The 99 Club Storm on Thursdays.

"Very amusing," Time Out

"Brilliant," London Lite

"Actual jokes built on a nicely skewed sense of humour," The Stage

"Five Stars: just great entertainment, had the crowd laughing all the way through to the end," USA Weekly News

"Brett Goldstein is a performance dynamo, with punchily amusing material to match.  His set has a pace and energy that can generate a high-voltage spark in even the quietest gigs, ensuring the perfect presentation for his gag-driven material.  He’s a sharp operator who deftly twists expectations for off-kilter punchlines that catch the audience unawares..."  Steve Bennett, Chortle
