Key Qualities of a Great After-Dinner Speaker

What makes an after-dinner speaker truly unforgettable? After watching speakers entertain audiences for years, these are the traits we believe set the best apart:

  1. Storytelling Skills: The ability to grip an audience’s attention whilst recounting something that happened is a skill in and of itself. The best female after dinner speakers have people hanging off their every word.
  2. Humour: Humour is all in the delivery. Even after dinner speakers who aren’t comedians often add comedy into their storytelling to help with audience engagement. And we’ve found that the ones that do always create a better connection with their crowd.
  3. Relatability: Great speakers make their stories feel personal to every member of the audience. They might be a film star like Toyah or a multi million-pound business owner like Deborah Meaden, but they can still make their audience feel like they relate, and that’s a skill.
  4. Professionalism: From punctuality to tailoring their speech to the audience and atmosphere, professionalism is non-negotiable us.
