Seeking local hire Baltimore/ DC-male comedic actors, stand-ups, or sketch performers to portray a comedic Rabbi at actual weddings, bar mitzvahs, and other life cycle events. In addition to professional pay, each program is approximately just 20 minutes in length. Ages 18 & up as we are not looking for the stereotypical old Jewish rabbi with an accent. While you don't have to be Jewish, you MUST have a Catskills / Borsht Belt comic sensibility a la Billy Crystal, Jackie Mason, Shecky, etc. We're seeking someone with great comedy & hosting chops. Very flexible schedule--if you're not available you don't have to accept a particular gig when offered to you. Also, very easy rehearsal schedule as we'll simply chat over the phone or via Zoom. Union & Nonunion can apply as these gigs are not under union jurisdiction since they're private events & not open to the public. Bonus: We have troupes in a variety of cities throughout the U.S. & Canada so if you relocate, you can possibly have a job waiting for you.
Comic Rabbi: Lead, Male, 18+
you must include in a "cover letter/message to casting 3 things: Your background regarding Jewish Culture, your comedy background & your direct contact number if it is not already on your resume. (SInce gigs can come up very quickly, we need to be able to deal directly with a talent for these types of jobs.)
