Throughout the night, there are a number of films showing the work that Comic Relief does both in the UK and in Africa.

Greg Davies' Hot Tub Half Hour
It is going to be wet and wild (and probably windy) as Greg Davies bravely hosts a very special half hour of top comedy from the roof of the O2, whilst relaxing in a hot tub.
Greg is joined in his tub by some very special guests, including the ladies from iconic sketch group Smack the Pony, who are reuniting after 13 years to perform together again.
There is also comedy from Philomena Cunk in a Moment of Wonder, grilling Richard Curtis about Comic Relief, and an exclusive sketch from the hottest new comedy stars in This Country.
Frankie Boyle and Rebecca Front star in an exclusive sketch following a group who are addicted to heckling at comedy clubs, and if that wasn't enough, we go behind the scenes to reveal how the sequel to Love Actually was made in Making Love Actually.

Graham Norton's Big Chat Live
Graham Norton supersizes his incredibly popular chat show with a ludicrously long sofa which is filled with more star guests than ever before. Expect plenty of Graham's trademark mayhem and mirth as the guests just keep on coming throughout this very special live programme. The Kurupt FM crew join Graham to present the world premiere of their musical collaboration with Ed Sheeran.

Russell Brand's Stand Off

Fantastic Beats and Where to Find Them
