‘Roy Kent’ AKA actor Brett Goldstein to light up the Fabulous Fox in May 17

Jordan Palmer, Chief Digital Content Officer
Published December 13, 2023

Jewish actor Brett Goldstein is a two-time Emmy Award winner and is best known for his scene-stealing performance as the brash yet lovable Roy Kent on the Peabody-winning Apple TV+ series, “Ted Lasso.”  But, before he broke through as the onscreen, foul-mouthed Kent, Goldstein got his start on stage as a stand-up comedian.

This fall, Goldstein launched his “The Second Best Night of Your Life” tour and has just announced he’s bringing it to the Fox Theatre on Friday, May 17 at 7 p.m.

Since his “Ted Lasso” breakthrough, Goldstein has emerged as one of Hollywood’s most sought-after talents.

He is the creator and executive producer of the cathartic comedy “Shrinking” alongside Jason Segel and Bill Lawrence, which has been renewed for a second season by Apple TV+. This follows the success of his critically acclaimed AMC limited anthology series, “Soulmates,” which he created and executive produced with Will Bridges.

Goldstein also is the host of the iHeartRadio award-winning podcast, “Films To Be Buried With,” which finds him in candid conversation with special guests as they discuss the films that have shaped them.

Brett Goldstein: The Second Best Night of Your Life Tour

When: Friday, May 17 at 7 p.m.
Where: The Fox Theatre, 527 N. Grand Blvd.
More Info: Tickets go on sale Friday, Dec. 15 at 10 a.m. online at MetroTix.com or by calling 314-534-1111.
