What do you charge a bar-nightclub for karaoke services?
A good KJ with good equipment will charge anywhere between $100 and $250 a night. All depends on day/night of the week, how much equipment he or she is bringing and how long the show is.
I would be wary of a KJ that charges $100 for a show. Ask to see the equipment or where one of their current shows is located.
As an example, I (Barcrawler Entertainment) charge(s) $150 for a standard weekly show of 4 to 5 hours. I used high quality audio equipment that could be used to record a live band and top of the line karaoke software. You might ask why I don't charge more if I use expensive equipment. We have eleven karaoke shows and I pay off my new equipment rather quickly because of this. I've noticed some KJs that charge $200 or more a show because its the only show they have and they are trying to pay off the thousands of dollars in equipment costs. We even cut deals on multiple shows per week. Advertising is part of our payment. We want to make the show successful so we do our best to get as many singers and listeners to be there each week.
