What is an Entertainment Speech?
In broad terms, an entertainment speech is a speech designed to captivate an audience’s attention and regale or amuse them while delivering a message. Like more traditional
informative or persuasive speeches, entertaining speeches should communicate a clear message, but the manner of speaking used in an entertaining speech is typically different.
Entertaining speeches are often delivered on special occasions (e.g., a toast at a wedding, an acceptance speech at an awards banquet, a motivational speech at a conference),
which is why they are sometimes referred to as special-occasion speeches. However, they can also be given on more mundane occasions, where their purpose is primarily to
amuse audience members or arouse them emotionally in some way. Remember, when we use the word “entertain,” we are referring not just to humor but also to drama. The
goal of an entertaining speech is to stir an audience’s emotions.
