While it’s impossible to bemoan the youthful exuberance of this year’s Comic Relief starlets, watching all of those pesky teenagers is starting to make us feel a bit ancient. Perhaps it’s the pearly white teeth, chiselled chins and ridiculous haircuts of Harry Styles and Co’, or maybe – just maybe – it’s because this year marks the 25th anniversary of the comedy-fest, and almost everybody involved wasn’t alive when it first began. Seriously, there isn’t a abdominal paunch in sight. Well, apart from Mr. Walliams up there.
Of course, not even the most cynical curmudgeon could deny the importance of Red Nose Day. In just twenty five years, the biennial telethon has raised a whopping £800 million for charity – helping to put an end to poverty, while kicking social injustice in the gonads. Thankfully, this year’s event – which takes place on the 15th March – looks to be bigger than ever, with just about every famous (and not-so-famous) celebrity donating their time and money to the cause.
Needless to say, you don’t have to be an irksome celeb’, or have a rubbish DVD coming out, in order to get involved. There are countless ways you can get raise money for Comic Relief this year, starting with your weekly food shop. Just take a look at some of these fantastic Red Nose Day products, which are available in all good retailers…

Jam and bread, custard and cake, Dawn French and Lenny Henry – some things in life are simply meant for each other… well, apart from that last one. Anyway, the same goes for Sainsbury’s and Comic Relief. They’ve been bedfellows since time began, and this year they’ve upped the ante with a selection of Red Nose Day treats that includes everything from pin badges, to car air fresheners, wrist bands, deeley boppers, and err, doughnuts. Oh, and those classic red noses, of course.

Trust TK Maxx to bring a bit of style to the occasion. This year, the popular fashion brand has teamed up with swanky design guru Stella McCartney, who has lovingly created a collection of T-Shirts featuring iconic images of the Beatles, Tommy Cooper, Marilyn Monroe and Kate Moss. There’s even an imaginative set of Red Nose Day homeware that includes aprons, mugs, tea-towels and oven gloves. Lovely.
Disney

Disney is renowned for making children’s dreams come true on film, and now the animation giant is doing it for real. For a limited time, you can buy a red-nosed Mickey Mouse plush, and the proceeds will help disadvantaged children around the UK. And if that wasn’t already enough, Disney also promises that its employees will be singing, joking and, most likely whistling, while they work to raise money this Red Nose Day.
