Brighton Caricaturist

Live Caricatures in Brighton:
Fab, Fast & Fun

“I’m Dave, and I bring a splash of creative mayhem to weddings and events across Brighton and Hove. My style is all about the ‘walkabout’ experience—I don’t just sit in a corner; I move among your guests to create a genuine buzz, instant connections, and plenty of laughter.

Whether I’m table-hopping at a seafront wedding, mingling during a corporate Award Ceremony, or providing the entertainment for a 50th birthday blast, I make sure your guests are the stars of the show. In just a few minutes, I’ll capture a convincing, funny likeness that keeps people talking long after the event is over.

Caricatures as unique as Brighton itself.

I had David attend my 60th birthday party in July 2026. All of my guests absolutely loved the way he engaged with them and the final caricature(s) that was presented to them. I would not hesitate to hire him again or recommend him as a great form of original entertainment for parties and functions. Lots of my guests were able to take home something to remember such a special night. ***** Thank you again GC, top class artist :)

David made our Wedding Reception very special and VERY entertaining! Our guests loved their caricatures and so did we! Lots of fun & laughter. He is easy to communicate with, friendly, professional, self sufficient and gets straight to it, making everyone feel at ease. Everyone got to keep their picture and we will treasure ours with wonderful memories. Well worth the money. Thankyou

David is the most wonderfully talented Caricaturist. He added so much to the uniqueness of our special wedding day. He was wonderful with our guests and created both a genuine rapport whilst drawing the most incredible likness of each individual. Each of our guests was delighted with their caricature to take home with them. We recommend purchasing cardboard tubes for each guest to keep their drawing pristine.

I met David at my friend’s wedding party and was so impressed with his caricatures I immediately knew I wanted him for our wedding entertainment. David is friendly, chatty and so talented - from the moment he arrived our guests were queuing up for a caricature and it brought so much laughter and entertainment. I’d highly recommend David to anyone who is looking for something fun and quirky for their wedding. Thank you!

Brighton Seafront & City Center
As a regular at the city’s most iconic landmarks, I provide a “walkabout” service that perfectly complements the vibrant Brighton energy. I have recently been hired to draw caricatures at:

The Grand Hotel & Mercure Hotel: Bringing elegance and laughs to seafront weddings.
The Brighton Centre: Providing a unique ice-breaker for large-scale conferences.
The Royal Albion: Capturing the character of guests at this historic coastal spot.
Brighton Racecourse: Adding a winning touch of humor to corporate race days.

Serving East Sussex & Beyond
Beyond the seafront, I am available for hire in Lewes, Newhaven, Southwick, Hassocks, and Burgess Hill. Whether it’s a rural barn wedding in the South Downs or a private birthday bash in a Sussex village, I bring the “Fab, Fast, and Fun” entertainment directly to your guests.

Live art for your big day.

Chris Eubank Caricature

A Brighton Legend: The Incomparable Chris Eubank
Brighton—often called “Little London by the Sea”—is home to some incredible characters, but none stand out quite like Chris Eubank. A true caricaturist’s dream, Chris is a unique blend of eccentric style and sporting greatness.

From his Savile Row suits and monocle to his famous American 18-wheeler truck, he’s a one-of-a-kind local legend. I actually attended a wedding where that very truck—sold by Chris to a private buyer—was used to escort the Bride and Groom!

His journey from the streets to world champion is truly remarkable, and you can still see that “peacock” confidence today in Chris Eubank Jr. I couldn’t resist drawing this caricature. An extravagant spirit that makes him a real Brighton treasure.
