I did one last year, I was really nervous about it but it went really well.
I put a lot of time into it and went through it with someone I worked with who didn't know my mate as I think it is important that anyone can find it funny if they don't know the person.
I had some good material as a lot of our youth was misspent going to clubs dressing up in gear not dissimilar to what fluro nodders wear and not sleeping for days. We lived together for a long time
I have seen a few speeches where they are either too humiliating or private jokes that no-one gets.
I made fun of us rather than him, and eluded to things rather than said them outright.
The best advice I could give (in hindsite) is relax and enjoy it people are rooting for you to do well, I spent the entire day feeling stressed and it was really unnecesary.
I imagine as brothers you must have some great stories from when you were kids!
