Comic Relief Day

Comic Relief Day
Comic Relief Day n téléthon m.
Comic Relief Day Comic Relief est une association caritative britannique qui organise tous les deux ans une journée nationale de collecte de fonds destinés à financer des projets humanitaires au Royaume-Uni et en Afrique. Des comiques et des artistes enregistrent les promesses de dons au cours de soirées-spectacles à la télévision et les membres du public sont encouragés à y participer en se faisant sponsoriser pour organiser des manifestations spectaculaires ou burlesques. Tous portent un nez rouge de clown, ce qui vaut à cet événement d'être également appelé Red Nose Day. Aux États-Unis, une association du même nom organise aussi une journée d'action à la télévision en faveur des sans-abri. ⇒ Charities (charity)
