Comic relief has begun in earnest again this year with celebrities totting out left, right and centre to raise money for noble causes across the world. My personal highlight so far has been Robert Webb’s amazing turn on Let’s Dance for Comic Relief. His interpretation of Flashdance’s What a Feeling literally knocked me for six, not because of the amazing blowtorch packing entrance, not because of the ridiculous wig and costume but for the simple fact that Robert Webb has got some moves on him! Everybody has a preconceived notion of celebrities, normally revolving around them being pampered or detached from the real world. I think the celebrity climbers of Kilimanjaro have gone someway to dispelling that image as, regardless of the help and support that they received on the trek, climbing that mountain is something few people could ever achieve.

The impending comic relief sketches look set to be as enjoyable as last year’s. The usual comedy crossover outings are set to impress and a revisiting of the Celebrity Apprentice has already created incident destined to be excellent viewing. The Saturdays, whose popularity has been skyrocketing over the past few months have pitched in with the official Comic Relief single, a cover of Depeche Mode’s I Just Cant get Enough.  I think that March and the time surrounding Comic Relief is an excellent time to hire a celebrity for your next event as the general mood and feel of Comic Relief seems to inspire celebrities to go above and beyond the call of duty. You may be able to squeeze more appearance time from your chosen celebrity or even submit a slightly ‘off the wall’ request that may be granted in this time of goodwill. Whether you’re booking a celebrity for a comic relief related event or just hiring a celebrity for an annually scheduled occasion, March is a great time to get the ball rolling.
