Speech Tips for the Best Man

You are expected to be funny, and perhaps even a little rude.
But don't get too carried away.
There is nothing worse than a best man who lurches from one story of debauchery to another.
And Grandma Margaret is unlikely to take great joy in the finer details of the stag-do in Amsterdam.
The key is to allude to the dirty and debauched past without embarrassing either the groom, the bride or yourself.
Remember that you are there to entertain the entire audience and not just your fellow stags.

Which means:

• Try to reference each stage of his life
• Illustrate what a great effect his bride has had on him
• Thank him for being such a great friend and say some nice things about him too

• Talk slowly. If it takes 12 minutes, not nine, it doesn't matter at all.
• Pause for effect. Your audience need time to digest the story before they get the punchline. So give them time to get it.
• Emphasise key words. Imagine you're telling a story to a friend.
• Practise. However well written the speech, you don't want to be 'reading' it. Know it well enough that your notes just become a safety net.
• Gesticulate. Body language is vital. Use your arms to emphasise a point.
• If you're addressing someone, look at them. Try to make eye contact with your audience whenever you can.

• Be put off by a heckle. You can pre-prepare a couple of responses to a noisy member of the crowd.
• Give in to the shakes. Holding a shaky piece of paper will put you off before you get going. Paste your speech onto card. Or rest it somewhere you can see it. Find out if there's a lectern.
• Get drunk beforehand. It may feel like the easy way to get through it, but it won't seem so sensible afterwards.
• Just read it out. Great material is irrelevant if it's delivered badly. You'll be much more natural when you're not reading straight from the page.
