Got a wedding speech to give and a blank page staring back at you? You’re in the right place, and you’re going to be great. This is the kit a comedian would use: a simple structure, real joke formulas and a story-led speech map for every role, so your speech gets genuine laughs, makes Grandma cry the good kind of tears, and doesn’t get you uninvited from Christmas.
Instant PDF download. 32 pages.
Money-back promise: if the kit doesn’t help, email me within 30 days and I’ll refund you. No awkward questions.
Not sure yet? Start with my free mini-guide, Don’t Be Toast: The Opening.
I’m Jennifer Jane, a British-American comedian. I’ve done a ton of stand-up, and a lot of wedding speeches too, including one as best man. The groom offered me “best woman”, but it felt like a weird title, so I went full best man, suit and all. The speech… crushed. And now I’m going to help you crush yours.
A wedding crowd is the friendliest room you’ll ever face: a room full of people who genuinely love you, and love the people you love. This kit shows you how to make the most of it.
What’s inside:
• First, ask the couple: the three questions that make your speech a real gift to them, and make it easier to write
• The four golden rules that keep every speech safe, kind and funny (plus the big one: no ego)
• The Brain Dump: the questions that dig up your best material, starting with why you love them
• The six-beat structure of a great speech, with rough timings
• Speech maps for 4 roles: best man or best woman, maid of honor, parent of the bride or groom, and the couple’s own speech. No canned lines. Each one walks you beat by beat through your own stories and shows you where to mine them for laughs
• The heartfelt bit: how to go from laughs to happy tears
• Bringing in someone who’s missed: a beautiful way to include loved ones who have passed away, in their own words
• Six joke formulas comedians use, with lighthearted examples
• The callback: the oldest trick in stand-up
• The Teasing Traffic Light: what’s funny, what to check first and what to kindly skip
• 25 opening lines to steal, and how to land the toast
• Organize your best bits, then edit like a comedian with the Punch-Up Checklist
• Nerves, and your practice audience: how to turn nerves into excitement
• Keep it loose, keep it chatty: a comedian’s set list instead of a script
• Delivery tips from the stage, and what to say if something goes wrong
• A 3-week countdown so you’re never cramming the night before
• My real stories throughout: the time I was best man (suit and all), the speech built from a mom’s diary, and my personal wedding-speech pet peeve
Perfect for: best men, best women, maids of honor, bridesmaids, parents, couples, and anyone giving a toast at an engagement party, rehearsal dinner or vow renewal.
