ENTERTAINMENT SPEECH
An entertainment speech is one
whose sole purpose is to have the
audience enjoy the presentation
 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, entertainment speeches
should communicate a clear message, but the
manner of speaking used in an entertainment
speech is typically different.
 Entertainment 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 entertainment speech is to stir an audience’s
emotions.”
