Dave Watt
Founder of Captain Breadbeard Productions
I was at a networking event in Croatia and a woman approached me saying she had been trying to find me but didn’t know what I looked like, but someone told her I was the man with bread on his face (at this point I just had your everyday standard hairy beard!). And so Captain Breadbeard was born.
I grew up in Canterbury before moving to London to do a Performing Arts degree and then ran a successful business in the sailing industry. The Captain Breadbeard series combines my passion for both. I then returned to Canterbury with my wife and 3 (soon to be 4) children. As a father I see a gap in the market for comedy that doesn’t contain adult-only content and themes, but isn’t a children’s show either. A show made for adults, that children can enjoy too.
This year I wrote, produced and performed Captain Breadbeard’s Bready Brilliant Comedy Cookbook. Currently working on two new shows called The Rising and Proving of Captain Breadbeard and An Idiom’s Guide to the Galaxy.
