Tonight is Comic Relief’s annual Red Nose Day telethon, when celebrities will come together to raise money for the charity.
There will be all sorts of skits, including a saucy Magic Mike performance and a ‘sequel’ of beloved classic Four Weddings and a Funeral.
It’s plenty of fun, but there’s obviously a very important reason behind it all; to raise money for Comic Relief.
You’ll likely see appeals on the night of different projects the money sent in through donations is used for. Here’s a more detailed breakdown, however.
Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
How much money has Comic Relief raised so far?
Since its inception in 1985, Comic Relief has raised over £1 billion.
When it first started, the charity had live shows and used charity singles, but the first ever Red Nose Day was in 1988. This raise £15 million, and got 30 million viewers watching.
The second Red Nose day the following year reached £27 million, but the real record breaker was 2011 where over £108 million was raised.
In 2018, they surpassed the billion mark.
Where does the money go?
Comic Relief funds charity here in the UK as well as elsewhere in the world.
Since Comic Relief began they’ve provided 26,030 grants to causes supporting those with health issues, those in poverty, or those escaping violence.
They previously publicised their golden pound principle, whereby all money donated goes to help poor and disadvantaged people, and all administrative costs are covered through corporate sponsors or interest earned.
Some of the charities the money goes to include Help Refugees, Dementia Outdoors, and The Global Fund to fight AIDS, TB, and Malaria.
Catch the Red Nose Day telethon from 7pm tonight on BBC One.
