A Life in the Day of a Pretend Lighthouse Keeper - Bob Sea-Dog

Created by Bob Sea-Dog who started doing impressions at the age of four, A Life in the Day of a Pretend Lighthouse Keeper follows the pretend lighthouse keeper living alone in his pretend lighthouse! Complete with dreams of a pretend futuristic 1950s style kitchen, daily pretend patrols of the local pretend coastline audiences were welcomed into an absurd and often doodled world...

A Life in the Day of a Pretend Lighthouse Keeper featured performances from Andy Ashley, Jayni Lee, Chris Lewis-Jones (accordion), and Daisy Dearman, as well as the creator Bob Sea-Dog himself. The performance was filmed by Ian Dearman of Scruffy Whippet Media.
