The Humorous Speech is a prepared speech of 5-7 minute duration. The speech is judged on the audiences reaction to the humor as well as preparation and presentation. There are a series of Humor Speech contests that progress from the Club level to the Area to the Division to the District to Region and then to the International Level.
