red noses fight poverty
take a minute and ask yourself: what do charity and comedy have in common?
nothing? well, comic relief will certainly disagree with you.
set up by a group of comedians,comic relief is a charity that uses laughter to raise money from the general public and help fight poverty in the uk and africa. lt began with a few live comedy events that were broadcast on bbc 1 on christmas day 1985, in response to the famine in ethiopia. since then, they have managed to raise about 100 million!
