The UK’s biggest night of comedy and entertainment, with hilarious sketches, live performances, big surprises and stunning music acts, all to raise much-needed cash for good causes at home and across the world.

David Tennant is joined in the studio by Paddy McGuinness, Zoe Ball, Joel Dommett and AJ Odudu.

Comedians Flo and Joan perform their mischievous tribute to 35 years of Comic Relief. Oti Mabuse and Rylan Clark return after their epic battle against the elements in the Cairngorms. We celebrate the wonderful Gethin Jones, whose Strictly Fitness: Gethin Keeps Dancing challenge saw him dance for 24 hours with the help of some showbiz pals. And throughout the evening, a series of films highlight incredible and inspiring stories of the people supported by some of Comic Relief’s projects in the UK and around the world.

Red Nose Day 2023 then continues on BBC One after the News at Ten with Comic Relief: The Best of the Best Bits, featuring classic highlights from the last 35 years of Red Nose Day. Show less
