Never mnd I looked them up. I didn't realize comic relief was even a thing. Thought it was a bunch of rando comedians just getting in on the streaming action.

Why would you? It's a British charity. Pretty big deal over here.

I'm usually well in tune with the British scene. I spent alot of time in Scotland working and I seek out british comedy and humor. I don't know how this escaped my radar.

I’m told the DM is Paul Foxcroft.

I find that eye-wateringly funny, but my wife just stares at it blankly And yeah Comic Relief has been huge since the 80s I believe.
