Everything you need to know about the Night of TV, sketches and presenters

Live on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Friday 15 March from 7pm this year’s Red Nose Day night of TV, Comic Relief: Funny for Money, will entertain, enthral and bring smiles to the nation.

Viewers can expect hilarious sketches, live performances, exciting surprises and big prizes. At 10pm the laughter moves over to BBC Two for more skits and musical guests in Comic Relief: More Funny for Money, before returning to BBC One at 10:40pm for a very special tribute show, Comic Relief: A Whole Lotta Lenny, celebrating Sir Lenny Henry, hosted by Alex Jones.

Join Alex Jones and Sir Lenny Henry for a rollicking 60 minute romp celebrating Sir Lenny's epic decades-long stint hosting Red Nose Day. Sir Lenny Henry says: “While this will be my last year of presenting Red Nose Day, I’ll still be involved in other Comic Relief projects throughout the year. But I think it is time to hand over the onscreen reins to some new names. This year the show is going to be chock-a-block full of content and all of your favourite presenters. It will probably be the best night of my life because it’s my last year hosting and I know there’s going to be loads of surprises and fun in store.

Any donation you can give will make a difference. You can donate to Comic Relief’s Red Nose Day campaign by visiting bbc.co.uk/rednosedayTo look the part this Red Nose Day there’s still time to get your hands on some of this year’s official merchandise. This year’s Red Noses are the funniest and most sustainable collection to date, and are available from Amazon.

The British public have been so brilliant at backing us and we want to say, if we haven't said it, if we don’t say it enough, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you. It’s an amazing thing.I think Comic Relief is dear to the nation because there is a sense of charity in this country that is relentless. Comic Relief has managed to take a foothold because people love to laugh, and the idea of having a laugh and raising money simultaneously is incredibly charming and attractive.
