Dame Judi Dench, Benedict Cumberbatch and other stars chat about the power of laughter in a Comic Relief video launching Red Nose Day 2021.

The annual charity event, which takes place in March, will be raising money this year to tackle homelessness, domestic abuse, mental health stigma and issues created by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Comic Relief kicked off this year’s campaign today with a video featuring Joe Lycett, Mo Gilligan, Shappi Khorsandi, Sir Lenny Henry and others discussing how humour and comedy have helped them personally.

“Red Nose Day will be different this year. We know that it’s hard financially for so many people right now, but we’d love you to join us – even if it’s just to share a laugh,” Henry says in the clip.
