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 2008, he appeared in three different shows at the Edinburgh Festival, including compering that year's Comedy Reserve.

Brett is currently gigging all over the country, from Brighton Sidesplitters to the Covent Garden comedy Club.

He is now the resident compere at The 99 Club on Thursdays, for Trevor Lock's Philosophy Society.
