Gridiron Nights, Comedy Clubs, and after Dinner Speaking: Prescriptions from Real World Analogues.
Kay, Jack; And Others
Argumentation and Advocacy, v28 n4 p168-77 Spr 1992
Proposes that individual forensic events, particularly after dinner speaking, should be modeled after real-world situations. Explores two analogues (comedy clubs and political humor arenas like the Gridiron Club) which could improve the quality of the after dinner speaking events by offering students illuminating principles and practical demonstrations.
