The British (Comics) Are Coming! Comic Relief 2009

Comic Relief is a British charity organisation that was founded in the United Kingdom in 1985 by the comedy scriptwriter Richard Curtis in response to famine in Ethiopia. Every other year, the BBC broadcasts Red Nose Day, a charity telethon that benefits Comic Relief.  It is an opportunity for British celebrities to "Do something funny for money."  

So, here they are, doing something more or less funny.  James Corden coaching the English national side.  French and Saunders doing their last sketch ever (they've retired--sob!!!).  Paddy McGuinness and Keith Lemon having the time of their lives.  And the toast of Red Nose Day, the winner of Let's Dance for Comic Relief, Robert Webb with his impression of...a welder.


If you only have time to watch one or two, watch the last ones. J
