It's the other name we give to Comic Relief - a charity first set up in America which gets comedians to help motivate the public to raise money for Africa.
You can buy Red Noses from shops - part of the money goes to the chairty. At school, kids get to go to chool in fancy dress or take part in sponsored events to raise money. The emphasis on Comic Relif or Red Nose day is to do wacky and ammusing fund raising.
In the UK a third of the money raised also goes towards projects and chariteis in the UK.
The night is traditioanlly held in the Uk on a Friday and a special all night broadcast of comedy accompanies celebrity please for money via reports made in Africa or in the UK.
There's normally a specially made charity single released. This year its Girls Aloud vs Sugarbabes which if you're on the other side of the planet you're probably lucky enough to have heard of neither acts.

Red Nose Day is a charity event for Comic Relief. It helps a lot of different charities home and abroad but rather than based around a variety style telethon its all comedy based. People are encouraged to do sponsored events and the sillier the better! Each red nose day has a special red nose you can buy too with procedes going to charity.

In the UK it is for Comic Relief. Where all comedians go on tv, from about 7pm to 3am and do stuff to collect money for charity and the underpriveliged and poor of the third world countries. Some of us uk citizens don't approve of it, because their own government wo'nt do anything to help their own people, and don't agree with it. this is why we are all dressed up in red noses and wigs, to help rise money for comic Relief 2007.

its a charity that gives 60% of the money to give people living in grinding poverty in Africa a better chance in life and 40% of the money goes to help disadvantaged people and communities across the UK turn their lives around.
