Comic Relief - Red Nose Day 2015

Since 1988, Comic relief has raised a whopping £700 million, and today the 15th Red Nose Day is underway! We took this as a great opportunity to take to the streets of London, flag down some innocent folk, stick a nose on them and force them to #Singsomethingfunnyformoney.

Obviously we weren't quite as aggressive as that sounds, but as soon as we mentioned Comic Relief, they shed their inhibition and let us have their best notes. Well done guys!
