The BBC has unveiled a star-studded lineup for tonight’s Red Nose Day fundraising event, promising an evening of laughter and entertainment.
Sketches Galore
Iconic stars such as Julia Roberts, Olivia Colman, Hugh Grant, and Liam Neeson will grace the screen in a sketch where they playfully argue over who holds the title of the most famous. Meanwhile, Kate Winslet will offer a humorous twist on the CBeebies Bedtime Story, reading Adam Mansbach’s F***, Now There Are Two of You.
Additionally, Jamie Dornan returns as Elliott Stanley from The Tourist, facing a challenging interrogation from Clive Myrie on Mastermind.
Comic Relief Specials
In his final year hosting the Comic Relief telethon, Sir Lenny Henry will present his rendition of a popular Oscar-nominated song, titled I’m Just Len, inspired by Ryan Gosling’s recent performance.
Meanwhile, a star-studded cast including Suranne Jones, Jonathan Bailey, Catherine Tate, and others will feature in a sketch imagining a movie adaptation of The Traitors.
The W1A cast will reunite to find Sir Lenny’s replacement, and Alan Partridge, joined by Sidekick Simon, will bring his unique charm back to the screen.
Musical Performances
The night wouldn’t be complete without musical performances, with McFly, Jerub, Jack Black, and Paloma Faith set to entertain the audience with their talents.
Presenters Inspired by Dune
The BBC has released an image of the night’s presenters, including Sir Lenny, Joel Dommett, Davina McCall, Paddy McGuinness, Romesh Ranganathan, David Tennant, Maya Jama, and Rosie Ramsey, inspired by the artwork of Dune.
