Red Nose Day 2025: Celebrities, Nostalgia, and a Whole Lot of Laughs for Charity

Red Nose Day is back, and this year it’s bigger, bolder, and possibly even redder. With a lineup featuring Aisling Bea, Michelle Visage, Julian Clary, Martin Kemp, and England Lioness Beth Mead, the UK’s biggest charity event is gearing up for another year of hilarity, generosity, and iconic red noses. Celebrating 40 years of Comic Relief, this edition is packed with nostalgia, glitter, and a brand-new Cupcake Nose (because every party needs cake).

The countdown to Friday, 21 March 2025 has officially begun, and this year’s message is clear: grab a nose, have a laugh, and do something funny for money.

Celebrities Leading the Charge for Red Nose Day 2025

Red Nose Day is never short on star power, and 2025 is no exception. From the West End to the football pitch, some of the UK’s most beloved faces are showing their support. Expect to see:

  • Michelle Visage (Scissorhandz) bringing the fabulous energy only she can.
  • Julian Clary, Anneka Rice, and Sir Tony Robinson recreating their iconic Comic Relief moments from the 80s and 90s.
  • Martin Kemp and Roman Kemp proving that Red Nose Day is a full-family affair.
  • West End stars Emma Flynn (Clueless The Musical) and Marisha Wallace (Cabaret) repping their 90s-inspired noses.
  • Beth Mead, Arsenal and England Lioness, showing that even elite athletes love a bit of Comic Relief fun.

And that’s just the beginning. With more announcements to come, Red Nose Day 2025 is already shaping up to be one of the most exciting yet.

Red Nose Nostalgia: A Trip Down Memory Lane

Since 1985, Comic Relief has been using the power of laughter to raise millions for life-changing causes. This year, the Red Nose is getting a nostalgic makeover, bringing back some of the most beloved designs from the past four decades.

  • The 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s Red Noses are making a comeback, offering a throwback for longtime Comic Relief fans.
  • The Rare Ruby Nose, a sparkling new addition, is the must-have collector’s item.
  • The Cupcake Nose—because let’s be honest, everything is better with cake.

Each nose is plastic-free, plant-based, and available exclusively on Amazon. Prices start at £2.50, with all proceeds helping people in the UK and worldwide.

How Red Nose Day Changes Lives

Beyond the fun, Red Nose Day has a serious mission. Over four decades, the event has raised millions of pounds to support communities both in the UK and abroad. Funds go towards:

  • Providing meals and housing for families struggling with the cost of living crisis.
  • Protecting women and children affected by domestic violence.
  • Supporting young people’s mental health through life-changing projects.
  • Funding aid for communities affected by conflict worldwide.

As Martin Kemp puts it:
“Getting your hands on a Red Nose has always been a magical moment. But more than that, it’s about coming together to make a real difference.”
