Brett was born in 1980 and attended school in Sutton, Surrey before reading Film Studies at Warwick University. However, on graduating at twenty-one he was recruited by his father to help run a strip club in Marbella for a year, an experience he would later work into a comedy routine. At twenty-two Brett went to New York to study acting but ultimately decided that comedy was less depressing and in 2006 began his stand-up career with a show entitled 'Brett Goldstein Grew Up in a Strip Club'. Over the next five years Brett was a familiar face on the comedy circuits, notably at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2007 and 2009 before appearing to a wider audience in a variety of television sitcoms, including 'Derek', 'Uncle' and 'Drifters'. In 2015 he wrote and starred in the title role of 'Super Bob', a movie parody of superhero films directed by his old classmate from Sutton Jon Drever.
