#Jack Sparrow
I hired Captain Jack for a very busy Sunday at a kid's festival with over 3k attendees throughout the day. He was easy to communicate with and showed up willing to work any schedule that fit us best. I set him up with a Meet n' Greet area that got completely overwhelmed by a Princess Meet overlap, and he was quick to adjust to a nearby area and check in with me to make sure it worked for us. While waiting to greet kids under one of our tents, I also saw him make time for a handicapped visitor that was waving to him from a dining table, eager to talk up close. He sat at their table for an extended conversation, and I could tell he really cared about connecting with them. I also saw him playing a few cute rounds of 'Captain Says' with a group of kids. He barely got a break and was a total professional about it. Definitely would hire again!
Captain Jack was amazing! He provided entertainment for the entire family. Staying in character throughout the event and wonderful with the kids. We can’t wait for him to visit us again at Swifts Beach! He started the event by giving each child a Pirate Name, taught them how to fight like a true pirate with a sword, led them on a treasure hunt with his magic compass and played pirate games. Would highly recommend for any event, worth every penny!
I wanted to reach out and express my utmost satisfaction with the entertainment provided by Capt. Jack at my son's 21st birthday party. He was truly phenomenal and managed to engage guests of all ages, from 11 to 79.
Capt. Jack brought energy and excitement to the party by distributing shots to the adults, playing 'Captain Jack Says' (a creative twist on Simon Says), demonstrating sword techniques, uengaging in a spirited sword fight, and even playing Jumbo Jenga with swords!
Additionally, he helped distribute the delicious whoopie pies, ensuring that every guest had a fantastic time. There was never a dull moment with Capt. Jack around, and everyone couldn't stop raving about his performance.
I wholeheartedly recommend Capt. Jack for any future events without any hesitation. Booking him again will surely guarantee an unforgettable experience for all attendees
We hired Captain Jack for our 5-year-olds beach birthday party and was a huge hit! He was so wonderful and patient with the group of kids (which wasn't small) and never broke character. Would absolutely recommend him for another event!
Response from Get Captain Jack:
Thank you Meghan!
Captain Jack did a group FaceTime with the family during covid. Myself nor one of my sisters could be there for my nephews pirate themed birthday party and captain jack still made it memorable! He seamlessly and effortlessly wove in all the info I shared with him about my nephews likes and interests! I will definitely order again. Maybe in person this time!
Response from Get Captain Jack:
Thank you Louis! It was a pleasure.
He was hilarious and entertaining. Kept the kids busy for an hour an a half. You can tell by the way he talks to the kids that he has done many kids parties before. He was able to answer all their silly questions with answers and explanations that were fun and age appropriate. Had patience with the ones who didn't want to listen and the ones that were shy. Would recommend 12/10!! Thank you Capt. Jack Sparrow!!

Thank you Paul! I was honored to be part of your wedding day! Best wishes to both of you!
More than amazing! The children were more than entertained. Parents were impressed. Epic 5th birthday pirate beach party!
Captain Jack sent his friends Captain Hook and Smee to our family-oriented Walk & Carnival. They were great. They interacted with the kids, had "sword fights" and were a great addition to the day. Kids and adults loved them.! Thank you!!!
If you are a Mom reading this review & trying to decide if you should book ‘Get Captain Jack’, let me be blunt...Do It! He was authentic, funny & entertaining for the kids of all different ages & parents as well. Even the kids that were a little timid at first, he had a wonderful way of getting them engaged in like 20 seconds. He did so many activities with the kids, he really did take the Party to the next level!
Response from Get Captain Jack:
Thank you for everything, Amy! I'm so glad everyone had fun!
Captain Jack was a huge hit at our party. Besides looking and sounding the part, he was extremely engaging and funny. A true pro worth every doubloon!
Response from Get Captain Jack:
Thank you, Craig. It was a pleasure meeting you and your mates!
We hired Capt Jack for our 5 yo twin boys birthday party. He was amazing - far exceeded any expectations we had. Capt Jack was able to captivate 20 children age 3-7 And their parents. Everyone found him thoughtful and hilarious. The kids were mesmerized for the entire hour he spent with us! He was able to entertain and manage the kids (both the shy ones and rambunctious ones) incredibly well!!! Do not hesitate to hire him for your kids birthday party!
Response from Get Captain Jack:
Thank you! I'm glad everyone had fun!
Get Captain Jack was great! The kids and adults loved him. He was very realistic, witty, and great fun!
I would highly recommend him
We had a great time with Get Captain Jack! He was easy to plan with, on time, and tons of fun for the children and adults alike!!! If I have the opportunity to have another pirate party I highly recommend him!!!
Captain Jack did a fantastic job of greeting guests at our tradeshow. He definitely looked and sounded the part. He then moved on to entertain the children during the dinner by taking them on a treasure hunt.
I would definitely recommend him.
Response from Get Captain Jack:
Thank you Kim! It was a pleasure performing for you and your guests!
Captain Jack was so professional from the start! He was so responsive and gave me great advice to help the party run smoothly. Captain Jack drove a good distance through a snowstorm to get to my son’s party which demonstrates his dedication and reliability. His depiction of Captain Jack was spot on and both the kids and adults really enjoyed his performance. Thank you Captain Jack for making my son’s birthday party a success!!!
He arrived to my son and my nephew's 4th birthday and did a great job entertaining both the kids and the adults! He was witty, had a great sense of how to approach the young kids and was overall a huge success. Our guests kept asking us where did we find this awesome pirate....
Response from Get Captain Jack:
Thank you Tamar. It was a pleasure!
Captain Jack was absolutely amazing! We had 8 thirteen year old girls for an end of summer Pirates party and Jack was the highlight of the whole party! He looked just like Captain Jack and impersonated him impeccably. He was funny and kept the girls hugely entertained. My daughter had even come up with lines for him to memorize and he did fantastic! Definitely the best money spent for entertainment. Would do it again in a heart beat! Thank you Captain Jack for wonderful memories
Response from Get Captain Jack:
Thank you Leisa. It was my pleasure.
Our event was a nonprofit event with a pirate theme for adults, very few children in attendance. Get Captain Jack was incredible! He offered a unique alternative to the standard DJ or band option. Jack's Improv skills really kept my group involved as we played games, held trivia contests and just enjoyed a relaxed evening with laughs and Jack Sparrow antics! A memorable night for all!
He legitimately looked and acted like the real thing. What a great addition to our event featuring 50 children and young adults, plus over 175 adults. It was tremendous!
Captain Jack did a great job of entertaining a rowdy group of 10-year old boys...he handled the energetic crew with some great humor and games!
Captain Jack was amazing! We hired him for our son's 5th birthday party and we were thrilled! He was true to character and the kids and parents were truly entertained. I would hire him again in a minute!!
We had around 80 kids for a Halloween party different age groups Capitan Jack was great keeping the group involved.
Captain Jack was absolutely amazing at my daughter's 6th birthday party. He looked, sounded, and acted just like the real thing. He captivated the kids attention and did a great job handling their rowdiness. It was great for us parents too because he was crackling jokes like how he hated being stranded on deserted islands, and the kids didn't get it, but we did. He was very professional when I talked with him prior to the event and responded quickly to my emails and questions. He arrived on time and ready to go. You will not be disappointed in hiring him for your event.

Plain and simple mates. Despite being a pirate, I am not out looking for ill gains. Should you decide to hire me for your event, I make the following promises:
I will put on a performance your guests will never forget, and will do so in a clean, safe and audience age appropriate manner.
I am one of the few, if not the only, Captain Jack Sparrow impersonator in the area that has professional experience acting and performing improv comedy in Boston's Theater District. This means you will get a performance others can't match regardless of the size or age of the audience.
I price my performances fairly and never pull surprises on you. I will discuss a quote and all activities with you long before your event. Should anything change, on either side, any changes will be approved by both parties. You will not have to worry about my part of the event at least.
I do not break character during a performance, ever, unless of course emergency dictates that I do. With this in mind, please know that any drunken behavior is an ACT. I do not and will not consume any alcoholic beverages before or during your event. I do not smoke or use any drugs. In reality, not in character, I am about as clean and sober a human being as you are likely to meet.
I will never insult your guests. I will tease them, but all in good fun. Nor will I do anything reckless or dangerous just to get a laugh. I have been a professional improv actor for more than 20 years and know how to treat people and the enjoyment and safety of your guests are my top priority.
I will , in character, be flirtatious with any willing women of appropriate age. I do not handle anyone inappropriately ever. I am very happily married, so the ladies are quite safe.
The bottom line is I will do everything in my power to make your event fun, safe and memorable. If you ever have any concerns I am more than happy to discuss them with you.
Thank you for considering me an I hope to see you soon!
