Would anyone hire a best man? If yes, why?
Initially it would be more of an experiment but as things progressed it could turn into a full fledged act. As word spread the best man might be hired because they'd know you're going to get an amazing show.
It would be interesting to compare the people who respond, people who want a funny show, lonely people who just don't have anyone to be their best man, young guys, old guys. The comedian could even pretend to be anyone from a long lost friend to a distant cousin or nephew.
This idea came from my friend Steve who just gave a best man speech at his sisters wedding. He said he didn't really know the groom. Which makes you wonder why he asked Steve. Anyway, it went really well - even the hired camera man said it was amazing.
Later that day older family members told him he should do it as a living. He replied that he'd love to do stand-up - they said 'No, being a best man'. After repeatedly saying he didn't think that was a job they said 'Well if it was you could, you should'.
Maybe he could. You can hire everything else for a wedding.
