Becky Braunstein grew up on a mountain in Eagle River, Alaska where she had no one to talk to, moved to Portland, Oregon after being diagnosed with metastatic thyroid cancer and almost losing her voice forever - but she didn’t lose it, and now she won’t shut up. A uniquely enthusiastic comedian and actor, she appears in Trinkets on Netflix, Chad on HBOMax, Shrill on Hulu, and was recently featured in Teen Vogue, in an article which insisted that each one of her life experiences "deserves [its] own television show". Wanda Sykes & Page Hurwitz agreed, producing Becky’s half-hour stand-up/documentary special as part of ‘Unprotected Sets’ on EPIX. Becky is a fast-rising, one-in-a-million performer with fresh energy and wide-eyed enthusiasm that is impossible to ignore. Her scripted comedy pilot Cancer Culture was named a winner by the Yes And Laughter Lab, sponsored by Comedy Central. She has been featured at nearly every top comedy festival in the country, including the Big Sky, Bridgetown, SF Sketchfest, Laughing Skull, All Jane, Limestone, 208 & the HBO Women In Comedy Festival, and many others. Her comedy has aired on SiriusXM, IFC & Audible, and she recently opened for Tom Segura and Gary Gulman on tour. Becky hosts a spectacular show called Becky with the Good Jokes, which has featured appearances by Matt Braunger, Pete Holmes, Jamie Lee, The Unipiper, Ian Karmel, Jenny Conlee from The Decemberists, and the mayor of Anchorage, Alaska. She competed in the National Spelling Bee in 1997, is about half fluent in German, and dreams of one day living in a house with central air.
