I’ve got to give the best man speech in September and what’s giving me even more anxiety is that I have a stammer - my plan is to include it in a joke at the outset along the lines of ‘I appreciate the groom asking his best friend who has a stammer to be the best man, and I’m hoping to have this wrapped up before the next wedding they have scheduled here’

I like the memorize and talk method. I try not to "Joke Link" but have the topics firmly timelined but I do much better when I can look at the audience directly and let loose.
As I get older it is harder but I make sure I am cofortable with what I am saying prior.
The longest one of these type of speeches I gave was for my mums funeral [40mins] but I was so glad I did it that way because I could smile an make a tough situation a bit more relaxed and calm.
Appreciate you kind and helpful words here.

I am going for the speech without outlines or written down. I must say that I am used to speaking in front of folks but I have been practicing for a few weeks with 9 days to go and the speech is such that if I miss something, it will not take anything away from the speech as long as I have the intro, the middle and the end of speech on point. Great advice and one that I struggled with for a few weeks before going on not reading or having an outline.

Thank you so much sir, I feel you got everything about right. I have a A4 sheet, I am planning to get a more solid base or something to avoid some possible nervious movement at the beginning of the speech.
