All in all i think my speech was about 7 or 8 minutes (maybe ten when i actually delivered it) and to be honest I got a lot of people coming up and saying that, "that was great, thank you for not rambling on, concise, funny, to the point".

no one wants a 20 minutes speech, trust me.

You have to throw some good jokes in between stories. No matter how cliched they are. 7-8 min is a good time. 20 is way too long.
