I would STRONGLY suggest not trying to be "clever" and just directly and firmly stating the rules and requirements. When you try and be "clever", the audience may giggle a tad, and then they will immediately disregard whatever you just said because they think it's "part of the evening's entertainment" and that the rules don't apply to them.

With completely different voice once a minute, tell the audience that they have a certain amount of minutes before the show starts. 10 minutes then five minutes than 10 minutes then 5 minutes again, then two minutes then 10 minutes again. If you have lots of seniors in the audience, it creates a lot of fun. You might make some people think that they're watching the little old ladies from ""The Producers".
