There’s an article about Boris Johnson’s bumbling talking style, and how it’s all a schtick.

Before he was even London Mayor, so had fewer repeat listeners, a journalist went to three of his speeches in the same year. In each one, Boris arrived and apparently didn’t know where he was. He then made a brilliant speech with the same “ad-lib” jokes, mixed up his reading notes at the same point.

Making public speaking look effortless takes a lot of effort.

I’d love a link to this if you have it.
I think it might have been this, though it’s only two speeches and 18 months apart here.
