How to Write a Funny Speech
- 1). Start the speech with a funny opening line. This will help you gauge the audience's sense of humor and set the tone for the speech.
- 2). Use clean, non-offensive humor at all times. Avoid off-color, political, racist or any other humor that might be considered politically incorrect.
- 3). Incorporate humor that is customized to the group to which you are speaking. For example, if you are speaking at a wedding, say something funny about the bride and groom that will resonate with those who know them well.
- 4). Use humor that you are sure will not hurt anyone's feelings. For instance, you might know for certain that the groom enjoys a good insult joke. However, his new bride might not share his sense of humor. When in doubt, leave the joke out of the speech.
- 5). Pepper the speech with funny, personal anecdotes. These will lighten the mood of the room and hold the audience's interest.
