Each year viewers see celebrity sketches, real life stories, fundraiser events and they’re updated throughout the show with the funds raised so far.
If you’ve not fundraised this year, you can still donate with all the details shared throughout the programme.
You might spot some red noses being worn too because it wouldn’t be Comic Relief without Red Nose Day.
This year, Comic Relief organisers are bringing back some old designs of the iconic red nose for celebrities and members of the public to sport, including the ones from the 1980’s, 1990’s and noughties.
There’s even a cupcake red nose and a rare glittery one to get your hands on.
Where do Red Nose Day funds go?
Each year, we’re asked to donate what we can but where does the money go?
The Comic Relief website explains: “Your donations make a very real difference to people in the UK and around the world, whether you donate through Red Nose Day, Sport Relief or to Comic Relief at any other time of year.
“Here are just some of the many ways your donations make a very real difference to the lives of people in the UK and around the world.”
It says “over the last few years”, more than 10 million people have been helped by the donations with people receiving access to safe homes, health care, education and more.
