Badchunim
« on: June 07, 2021, 11:03:54 PM »
A. Where can I find a good badchen at a reasonable price?

What are the going rates for badchunim?
E.g. What would one charge to come to a sheva brachos in Bklyn for an hour or so?

Can anyone please enlighten me on this topic?

(PMs are welcome)

If you want a fully understandable english speaking Badchan, Sruly Wulliger was excellent. He has a singing and baal tefila background and he started with badchanus relatively recently. Highly recommended.

I PM'd @Galitzyaner his contact info.
If it benefits even just one fellow DDFer, its worth posting it.

2 people making a sketch comedy (Yiddish) they charge 3k for about 30 minutes of acting. But IMO it is fully worth it. They are hilarious.

For a Sheva Brachos you may want to take someone cheaper. But for a wedding, party etc. They are a good option to consider IMO.

I would imagine that a badchan doing stand-up will charge a lot, as there is a limit to how many times you can recycle a joke without everyone knowing it. I imagine that they don't perform every night, rather more sparingly, at a higher price point.

Still, $3k for 30m (even if the act has two performers) sounds like the price I’d expect post-hyperinflation in 2023. I guess I’m not in touch with market rates for this stuff, if that’s what they charge and they’re in business, then that’s what people are paying.

And $20k for a singer to sing for 2 or 3 hours?

Idk, I’m aware of singers price ranges, never realized badchanim come close. Either way, 20k sounds like a-lister rates and I’ve never heard of this duo.

How many people where at the biggest sheva brochos you've been to? Have you ever had more than a one piece band?

I dare say this discussion is about a a different world than you're used to
