Sir Lenny Henry, co-founder of Comic Relief, is set to deliver a powerful and important message to rally the UK this Red Nose Day. In an exclusive film for Comic Relief: Funny for Money, the actor, writer, comedian and television presenter will deliver a call to action that is not to be missed.
Opening the show, Lenny will deliver an extra special message that is more important than ever – rallying the UK to come together in the way that Lenny does best. The money raised this Red Nose Day could help people access food, shelter and safety – the vital essentials everyone needs to survive.
Comic Relief: Funny for Money is live from MediaCityUK in Salford on BBC iPlayer and BBC One on Friday 20 March from 7pm, and for the very first time, live streamed simultaneously on the official BBC YouTube channel.
This Red Nose Day there are a host of ways to get involved and Take Yourself Funny for Money. Whether it is donating or fundraising, it is an opportunity for the nation to come together and show that simple acts of silliness can make a serious difference.
