RED NOSE DAY 2025

Comedy and chaos took over the biggest night of TV, serving up exclusive sketches and star-studded surprises. Oasis: The Reunion: The Movie gave us a Britpop blockbuster we never knew we needed, with James Buckley and Joe Thomas as the Gallagher brothers and a rogue lineup of celebrity cameos. Rachel Parris and Russell Kane put their best (and possibly worst) feet forward in a Strictly Come Dancing spoof, ending in a surprisingly slick live performance. Stick the kettle on, grab your popcorn, and catch up on 91热爆 iPlayer.

The night was packed with unforgettable moments—Chabuddy G taking on Gladiators, a bonkers Not Going Out and Beyond Paradise mash-up, and Munya Chawawa failing to convince Brian Cox he’s leading man material. Music legends from the 80s to now got the party started, with Sugababes, Titanique’s cast, and a celeb-stuffed singalong of Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

Amid the laughs, powerful films reminded us why Red Nose Day matters—David Tennant on food poverty, Alesha Dixon on domestic abuse, and an emotional EastEnders special on mental health. Forty years in, Comic Relief is still bringing the laughs while tackling real issues, proving that comedy really can change lives.

The overwhelming generosity and kind-heartedness of the British public has shone through once again, with Red Nose Day 2025 raising £34,022,590 so far – with donations still coming in and prizes of a lifetime still up for grabs.

Billy Monger: The Race is On for Comic Relief

Billy Monger's epic IRONMAN challenge...

Last October, after twelve months of intensive training and relentless preparation, Billy Monger took on the world’s most iconic one day endurance challenge: the IRONMAN World Championships in Kona, Hawai’i, all to raise life-changing funds for Comic Relief-funded projects.

Throughout this remarkable journey, Billy has been driven by his desire to support those who, like him, have faced adversity but without the strong family and community support he was fortunate to have in the toughest times.

He’s seen first-hand the amazing work made possible by your donations as well as the critical need for these projects right here in the UK.

The incredible behind-the-scenes story of Billy’s road to Kona, the iconic race itself and the motivations which kept him going, will be told in an exclusive behind the scenes documentary coming to 91热爆 One in March 2025.
