Inspired by the groovy 70s hits such as “Disco Inferno” and “YMCA”, Boogie Nights comes to life on stage at Cambridge Corn Exchange this Thursday 7th March.
This impressive cast boasts a number of chart topping hits over several decades but have managed to hustle their way away from rehearsals to spread the word about Red Nose Day.
Merrill Osmond says: “Red Nose Day is back on Friday 15th March and we want you to get fundraising and have a laugh doing something funny for money. So come on Cambridge what are you waiting for? Loosen up, dress up in your flares and boogie until the midnight hour for Red Nose Day.”
The live tour has already begun but still has many places to visit in the UK, including London, Ipswich, and Coventry.
Red Nose Day 2013 sees the first ever Nose with toes. This time, they’re the Dinosesaurs, who go by the scientific names of T-Spex, Triceytops and Dinomite. You can buy all three of them at Sainsbury’s, Oxfam and online at rednoseday.com/shop for £1, with at least 60p going to Comic Relief. But remember, because they’ve got toes, they’ll run out fast. So make sure you buy yours today.
About Comic Relief
· Red Nose Day 2013 is heading your way on Friday 15th March when the great British public will once again be asked to Do Something Funny for Money.
· Raising cash this Red Nose Day can help to change lives forever. That’s because Comic Relief spends the money raised to help change the lives of poor, vulnerable and disadvantaged people across the UK and Africa.
· Comic Relief was launched on Christmas Day in 1985, live on BBC One. At that time, a devastating famine was crippling Ethiopia and something had to be done. That something was Comic Relief. The idea was simple – Comic Relief would make the public laugh while they raised money to help people in desperate need. Before too long, Red Nose Day was created and the first ever event in 1988 raised a staggering £15m.
· This year, 2013, marks the 25th anniversary of Red Nose Day which has raised over £600m and helped to change lives both in the UK and Africa.
· Comic Relief, registered charity 326568 (England/Wales); SC039730 (Scotland)
