How about the famous "The Bill in Lemon" routine? It can be found in the Mark Wilson course.

Also they knew your personality when they asked you. Don't try to be funny if you aren't, be yourself. Not all magic is comedy magic - see Eugene Berger for example. Enjoy it and let your enjoyment flood out...it's contagious.

Yes, be yourself. Alex Colombini has a stand-up DVD that can give you some great ideas.

Depends on what type of magic you are into, do you do cards, ropes, stage, coins?

Be yourself is the best advice so far.
What's next is a great effect for you to work on. Bill Abbots Smart Ass is too.

You mean Aldo Colombini.
How time do you have to prepare? That'll help us give you ideas that are doable.

Magic doesn't have to be comedy based.
As said above, you can be yourself. I would add that you need to be personable and pleasant, concentrate on the entertainment.
