Becky started out training at the People's Improv Theater in NYC and quickly entrenched herself in the scene, playing on two house teams: DBC and the musical team Yeti, alongside performers like Dylan Adler, Josh Flitter, and Jennifer Bareilles. She debuted her one-woman show, How To Have An Affair Without Really Trying, at the PIT's SoloCom festival in 2019, and, since then, has been developing the show and performing it all over town. The show will have its first international debut at The Edinburgh Fringe Festival this summer. Becky has performed all over, including: Greenwich Village Comedy Club, Broadway Comedy Club, The Tank Theater, The PIT, the SoHo Playhouse, Caveat, and Dallas Comedy Club. She is a regular cast member on the improvised podcast Sounds Funny Radio.
CURRENT PROJECTS
How To Have An Affair
Without Really Trying
Musical comedy about a 19 year old's first ever relationship...with a 60-year-old married man!
How To Have An Affair Without Really Trying is a tragicomic, raw, and vulnerable one-woman musical comedy about a 19-year-old's first ever relationship...with a 60-year-old married man--and all the adultery that followed. Becky Goodman uses her guitar, kazoo, and extremely loud voice to weave the story of her romantic beginnings and all the affairs she's had in between. This musical has everything: a song à la Music Man about three married lovers; a 2000s pop-punk revival tune about being messed up in the head; a jazzy homage to an emotionally abusive relationship; a rap about the clitoris...this show has it all! A raucous romp through relational trauma: Becky Goodman wants you to laugh at her pain!
Worse Than You Think
An award-winning dystopian narrative fiction podcast co-created with Charlie Dektar.
The novelty of WORSE THAN YOU THINK is to paint this dark future as a comedy, not a tragedy. We see billionaires racing to space as firemen wrap redwoods in foil and ask what fresh absurdity the next 100 years might bring. WORSE THAN YOU THINK brings the alarming climate science of THE UNINHABITABLE EARTH together with the juvenile tech billionaires in SILICON VALLEY all in the familiar format of NPR storytelling shows. The show looks our grim, plausible futures in the face and laughs, finding catharsis and hope in the process.
