About
Captain Jack 'Birdy' is a costume character for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Strictly one for the grown-ups: this Captain Jack Sparrow impersonation performs for audiences 18 and over, and the show is written fresh for whoever it's honouring. That's why bookings start with a short questionnaire about the guest of honour and need a couple of weeks' notice for birthdays, longer for larger events. On the day it's roughly 20 minutes of gags and audience interaction, followed by a meet and greet with the Captain and plenty of photo opportunities. The costume and mannerisms are the real deal, close enough to raise a double take. Melbourne based and fully insured.
Watch
The show
The show itself runs about 20 minutes, tightly written, mostly gags and getting the audience involved rather than a performance the room watches from a distance. Then the Captain sticks around for a meet and greet, so everyone gets their photo. It's an adults-only act, written specifically for the person being celebrated, and that means the version your guests see won't be the version anybody else got.
On the day
Because the show is written fresh for the guest of honour, a short questionnaire comes first. It covers a few basics about the person being celebrated, plus how many guests are coming and roughly who they are, and none of it goes anywhere except into the script. Notice matters too: two weeks minimum for a birthday, four weeks for anything larger. One thing worth knowing up front is that Captain Jack 'Birdy' takes ethical bookings only.
