Comic Relief was set up in 1985.
It was started by comedians who wanted to use comedy and laughter to let people know about poverty in the UK and in Africa.
It was launched in 1985, from a refugee camp in Sudan. The launch was broadcast live on Christmas Day on BBC 1.
Since then over £425 million has been raised for some of the poorest and most vulnerable people across the UK and Africa.
