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)
Is this like a stand up comic w/ frum material? If yes, I know a couple from twitter you can dm me to put in touch
Gramen or jokes?
Mostly the latter; Yankel Miller style.
Rosenstrauch from New Square is great.Will try to get his contact info
Langsam Feldman? They charge $3k but fully worth it.
$3k for an hour at a Sheva Brochos?!
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?
it's good to be a Lubavitcher
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
