Brett Goldstein announces “Sex, Death & Small Talk” Tour: Dates and ticket info

Before he became widely known as the gruff, poetry-loving Roy Kent on "Ted Lasso," Brett Goldstein had already built a career in stand-up comedy across the U.K.

The two-time Emmy winner has since expanded into acting, writing and producing. He co-created and executive produced "Shrinking," co-wrote and starred in the romantic drama "All of You" and released his first HBO stand-up special, "The Second Best Night of Your Life."

Now, Goldstein is taking “Sex, Death & Small Talk” across North America this fall.

The 13-date run begins Friday, October 23, 2026, in Madison, Wisconsin, and concludes Sunday, December 6, in Boston.

For fans who discovered Goldstein through "Ted Lasso," "Shrinking," his podcast "Films to Be Buried With" or his recent HBO special, the tour offers a chance to see him back where his career started: onstage with a microphone and plenty to say.

What to expect at Brett Goldstein’s live show

“Sex, Death & Small Talk” brings Goldstein back to the stand-up format that helped establish his career before his television success.

Goldstein’s comedy often leans into dark humor, candid observations and uncomfortable questions. His podcast, "Films to Be Buried With," offers a useful preview of the conversational side of his comedy, while "The Second Best Night of Your Life" demonstrates how those ideas translate to a full stand-up performance.

Fans who know Goldstein primarily as Roy Kent should expect a different kind of performance. There is no football pitch, writers’ room or ensemble cast to share the focus. The show centers on Goldstein’s storytelling, timing and relationship with the audience.

The tour also takes him into a mix of ornate historic theaters and larger live-event spaces, so the atmosphere may vary from city to city.
