2024 — McMinnville, OR/US
After Dinner Speaking
Event Description:
AFTER-DINNER SPEAKING: An original speech to entertain with the purpose of making a serious point through the use of humor. The speech should not be a series of unrelated jokes, a skit or vaudeville performance, “acted out” or dependent upon impersonation, although character suggestions and use of dialect in telling jokes or stories is permissible. Time limit is six minutes with a 30 second grace period. If laughter delays the speakers, the timekeeper shall make allowance by stopping the watch at the beginning and starting it at the end of each interruption. No notes are permitted, and no promptings are allowed during the delivery of the speech. A copy of the speech, including the bibliography, must be available if requested by the tournament director.
