Career
Goldsmith grew up in Bristol and trained at Circomedia circus school.[1] He was a member of the Playbox Theatre Company youth theatre group in Warwick, and worked as a court jester at Warwick Castle.[4]
He began in street theatre as half of the comedy double act "Kiosk of Champions", with fellow stand-up Richard Sandling,[5] where he "walked the tightrope eating a packet of crisps".[6] Under the name "Beautiful Stu", he came second in the Street Performance World Championship in 2008.[7][8] On his street theatre work, he has said "If you can draw in the crowd at 9.45am in Covent Garden it teaches you to be funny."[6]
Goldsmith was a 2005 finalist in So You Think You're Funny, a 2006 finalist in Laughing Horse New Act of the Year, and came third in the Hackney Empire New Act of the Year. He was also a finalist in the BBC's Witty and Twisted competition.[9] In 2011 Goldsmith competed in the ITV reality show Show Me the Funny, where he was eliminated in week 6.
Goldsmith's 2010 Edinburgh show Stuart Goldsmith: The Reasonable Man received positive reviews, as did his follow-up 2011 tour Another Lovely Crisis. His 2012 Edinburgh show Prick was the subject of some controversy after the title was censored by the Edinburgh Fringe Guide.[10] Goldsmith received generally positive reviews for his 2014 and 2015 Edinburgh shows, Extra Life,[11][12] and An Hour,[13][14][15] respectively. His 2016 Edinburgh show is Compared to What.[16] He continues to perform stand-up at clubs and festivals.[17][18]
In 2012 Goldsmith launched a podcast - The Comedian's Comedian with Stuart Goldsmith - where in each episode he interviews a comedian about how they approach their profession. It published its 400th episode in April 2022.
Television
Goldsmith played the role of Caleb in the 2010 CBBC sci-fi gameshow Mission: 2110. He has also appeared as a guest on the Dave series As Yet Untitled with Alan Davies.
In 2016, Goldsmith appeared as a panelist on children's panel show The Dog Ate My Homework.
