Advantages: Helps the world

Disadvantages: Quite embarrasing presenting

Comic relief is a nationwide charity event that is shown on tv. Lots of the public do their own comic relief to raise money including skydives, sitting in tubs of baked beans, shaving their hair and other silly things.

As long I as can remember I have watched comic relief. A rare friday night in this year it caught me by surprise, as I didnt quite know which friday it was on.

I sat there with my mood being raised to hysterical laughing right back down to near hysterical crying. The worst video was when Fern Cotton went to a hospital to see children suffering with malaria and she fainted. She was part of the team that climed Mount Kilamanjaro and reached the summit. I was very impressed to see Chris Moyles also in the team, as he has a reputation for being a bit of a beer drinking slob. He has lost loads of weight for it and on the excursion.

Some of the comedy clips were quite funny. I enjoyed the mamma mia rendition written by French and Saunders. I always enjoy their sketches. I also liked the Apprentice which was very funny and had some good characters including Ruby Wax.

They raised an awful lot of money to buy anti malaria equipment including mosquito nets, which cost around £5 each, and can save lives when used over night. It will also help hospitals with equipment and medicine to treat malaria.

I donated my £5 and hopefully some child in africa will have a nice net to sleep in.

Summary: my mood is right up then right down
