How To Make a Funny Best Man Speech?

Hi it’s Paul…

I have found that the most memorable wedding speeches are those that strike a balance between being emotional and funny.  Generally speaking, funny best man speeches are a real crowd-pleaser as long as the material is clean, witty and not offensive to anyone in the wedding party.

I used humor in my speech which I found kept the audience listening to me.  One tip that I can offer you is to try to use humor throughout the speech but use it at different times.  For instance, you may want to start with a joke at the beginning to get the audience to warm up to you.  Then use a funny story in the middle to grab everyone’s attention again.  Finally, you may want to conclude with another funny story so that everyone will remember you as the cool and funny best man.

Another thing that you can try when delivering your funny speech is to interact with the audience.  Remember that this is a toast and not a lecture so try to have conversations with certain people in the wedding party who can help add some humor.

As with all speeches, make sure th make good eye contact.  If you really want to be creative you can plant a funny prop or perform a trick using the audience.  I recently went to a wedding and saw someone do this and it was really effective.
