Let me start with saying that I am one of the laugh-iest person that anybody knows. Anything and everything makes me laugh, for a verry long time.
My problem is that I have a presentation in front of the class tomorrow, and all my friends are in it. I tried going before and I couldn't do it becuase all my friends make me laugh, even if theyre not doing anything funny. I just need to look at them or think about them. I know i just need to concentrate but its so hard. What do i do?!
But, my problem was.. i was so nervous i didn't even think about it.
But in your case.. i don't know if that's really going to happen.. so..
you need to NOT look at them. try looking at the back wall (if there is one) or somewhere else, keep your eye focused on something that won't make you laugh while presenting.

Or maybe you could pretend that that aren't there...I don't know, that's a hard one! [ suesquestions's advice column | Ask suesquestions A Question ]

get them to tell you jokes and stuff like an hour before the thing...then it will all be out of your system... if that doesnt work.
get them to have alot of speaking parts in the presintation.
OR if that doesnt work....
get them to have the most speaking parts and always tell them to try to add a joke into their part... that way if you laugh. just make it after their part. and then its ok. :)
be creative. think outside the box. thats always good.
