Seeking performers for events. Seeking local hire San Francisco & Bay area- male comedic actors, stand-ups, or sketch performers to portray a comedic Rabbi at actual weddings, bar mitzvahs & other life cycle events. In addition to professional pay, each program is approximately just 20 minutes in length.
Males 18+ as we are NOT looking for the stereotypical old Jewish rabbi with an accent. However, if you are an older performer, please submit! 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 gig schedule - if you're not available you don't have to accept a particular job when offered to you. Also, very easy rehearsal schedule as we'll simply chat over the phone or via Zoom. Bonus: We have troupes in a variety of cities throughout the U.S. and Canada so if you relocate, you can have a job waiting for you.
Production states: "For consideration, you must include in a 'cover letter/message' to casting the following 3 things: Your background regarding Jewish culture, your comedy background, and if it's not already on your resume, your direct contact number. We can receive calls from clients for gigs with a very quick turn-around time & need to be able to communicate with our performers quickly & directly for these types of jobs without going thru agents. We are looking for talented performers who really get & own this character & who could take advantage of this fun, rewarding & unique opportunity & program. Read the entire posting before submitting"
