David Watkins – The Experience
David Watkins is a captivating entertainer whose artistry blends old-school charm with modern soul. A singer, actor, and dancer with a career spanning stage and screen across Australia and the UK, he brings a rare warmth and authenticity to every performance. Whether crooning a classic standard, dancing through a ballroom flourish, or holding a theatre crowd in the palm of his hand, David’s signature style is defined by elegance, humour, and connection.
Having spent over three decades in Sydney’s vibrant arts scene, David worked with Opera Australia in both Sydney and Melbourne, appeared in Baz Luhrmann’s Australia, and featured in a string of film, television, and commercial productions. His stage experience is just as rich — from cabaret and musical theatre to large-scale variety shows — all grounded in his deep love for music and storytelling.
Now based in South Wales, David continues to perform and create as Creative Director and lead artist with Red Curtain Presents, producing bespoke live entertainment that bridges nostalgia and contemporary flair. His show, David Watkins – The Experience, takes audiences on a journey of song, laughter, and emotion — a heartfelt celebration of life’s rhythms, wrapped in the smooth sophistication of a born showman.
For David, every performance is more than an act — it’s an invitation to feel, remember, and share in something timeless.
