anybody got any good tips for a good best man speech. bricking it about doing it in front of about 150 people
 
Be confident, talk to the person at the back of the room, keep stories short and sweet, dont let it drag.
 
Here try this website seems to cover a lot of speeches.

There are 1001 stock phrases for BM's speeches but they are all old/crap.
Dont buy a speech either as it will be full of the above.
You need to make it about 80% humour and 20% serious (thanking bridesmaids etc)
I have done 2 and been an MC for another.
Use little prompt cards (never A4 paper).
Move around the room whilst talking (helps your confidence).
Have at least one visual joke (props work really well)
Never make a joke about the bride.
Get a bit pissed but not too much.
Dont to vulger but inuendos are great.
Make it last for between 20 and 30 minutes.

Tell me more about your mate etc and I will help you.
Where does he work?
Did you go to school together?
What happened on the stag "do".
Which soccer team does he support?
What are his hobbies/obsessions?
The more detail (however obscure) the better.
