Biography

Brandon Kyle Goodman (they/them) is a writer, actor, host, and sexual wellness advocate. They’re best known for their work on Netflix’s smash hit and Emmy nominated animated comedy series Big Mouth and its spin-off Human Resources; Amazon’s Modern Love, Hulu’s Plus One, and Netflix’s Feel the Beat.

Every Monday, Brandon asks their Instagram followers to tell them something good or messy. People who tune into the Instagram Stories series, called “Messy Mondays” send in submissions around dating, love, and sex. Inspired by the series, Goodman launched their podcast, Tell Me Something Messy with the iHeart network. On the show, celebrity guests and experts divulge their own messy stories all with the intention of inspiring listeners to live more liberated lives. Brandon continues their hosting duties, joining E! News for RE!CAP where Brandon and co-hosts serve up hot takes on Hollywood’s biggest nights! In Fall 2025, Goodman will hit the stage for an off-Broadway run of their new show heaux church with the award-winning theater company, Ars Nova.  

Goodman shares an inspiring and uplifting message of self-love and acceptance with their first book, “You Gotta Be You” released in 2022. Written in the same refreshingly honest voice as their viral Instagram posts, they explore the intersection of race, identity, gender, sexuality, and the lessons that would guide them to their most authentic self. As a nonbinary queer person of color, Brandon knows the pain of hiding one’s true self, the work of learning to love that true self, and the freedom of finally being your true self. While most inspiring narratives from queer authors take the form of memoirs, Brandon is one of few LGBTQ+ writers writing in the self-help space to offer the readers life lessons.

Goodman has been featured in The New York Times, Esquire, Well+Good, OUT, Bustle, Buzzfeed, and many more. A graduate of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts, Brandon lives in Los Angeles with their husband, Matthew, and their dog, Korey.
