A Best Man is in the laughter business so where do you mind the necessary material? Look no further than the Groom himself. Besides a litany of errant behaviour, he's bound to have character quirks and idiosyncrasies to extract and build upon. These won't just be recognisable to you but also to your audience, helping your best man speech be as funny and memorable as it can be.

When writing your best man speech, just like a stand-up routine, you need to have a strong opening. An early joke or a funny story that sets the tone will help both you and your audience relax. Setting you up for a killer speech that you will enjoy delivering as much as your audience will enjoy listening to. So for that extra bit of confidence be sure to get an early laugh in your best man speech.
