Give Till You Laugh
Comic Relief was set up by comedians and uses comedy and laughter to get serious messages across, as well as making sure
that everyone can have some fun at the same time. Over the years, more than 2050 celebrities have given their time and talent
to Comic Relief, you name 'em, they've helped us. From Lenny Henry, Billy Connolly, John Cleese and Jerry Springer to Johnny
Depp, Ali G, Davina McCall, Robbie Williams, Steve Coogan, Paul Whitehouse, Whoopi Goldberg and Woody Allen. Top comedy teams
who've given us a lorry-loads of laughs while helping us raise a lot of cash include the League of Gentlemen, The Fast Show
and Smack the Pony.
RED NOSE DAY
Red Nose Day is a UK-wide fundraising event organised by Comic Relief every two years which culminates in a night of
extraordinary comedy and moving documentary films. It's the biggest TV fundraising event in the UK calendar. On Red Nose Day
everyone in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland is encouraged to cast inhibitions aside, put on a red nose, and
do something a little bit silly to raise money - celebrities included. It is an event that unites the entire nation in trying
to make a difference to the lives of thousands of individuals facing terrible injustice or living in abject poverty.
THE BIG ONE
Red Nose Day 2007
The 2007 Red Nose is... THE BIG ONE.
Over the years it’s had hair, eyes, and a host of other accessories, but it has always stayed the same size –
until now! This time it’s massive. It’s red. And it comes with stickers and a Chocopix Fairtrade character chocolate.
And seeing as it’s the biggest Red Nose ever, it’s only right that we have the biggest Red Nose Day ever too!
