Comic Relief - Face The Funny

The massive biennial comedy and fundraising event comes live from the London Palladium, broadcasting on BBC One until 1am.

Lenny Henry and Davina McCall kick off the evening with a brand new Mr. Bean sketch starring Rowan Atkinson alongside guest stars Ben Miller and Rebecca Front.

There is also the culmination of Dermot O'Leary's 24 hours of non-stop dance and the announcement of the winner of The People's Strictly with Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly.

David Walliams then joins Davina to present a special instalment of The Vicar of Dibley, which sees Geraldine finding herself in the frame to be the next female bishop and facing stiff competition from some very famous faces.

The final of The Great Comic Relief Bake Off is on BBC Two at 10pm.

The fundraising spectacular continues on BBC One from 10:40pm, with stars including Claudia Winkleman and Sarah Millican.

There is also sketch comedy from Stephen Fry, Miranda Hart, Sheridan Smith and a horde of other national treasures.

As Comic Relief heads late into the night the comedy gets edgier, with performances from Russell Brand, Doc Brown and Trevor Noah. And finally, a live sketch from Cardinal Burns takes viewers through to the night's conclusion as the fundraising total is revealed.
