Humorous Interpretation

Humorous Interpretation

Humorous Interpretation (often shortened to "Humorous Interp", "HI", or simply Humorous) is an event in National Forensic League (and NFL-related) high school forensics competitions. It consists of a piece from any published work, edited to fit within a 10 minute span. It is judged based upon how the person portrays his or her characters rather than whether the piece is humorous. However, ideally proper portrayal of characters should achieve a comedic effect intended by the author.
