English: Comic Relief is a British charity organisation that was founded in the United Kingdom in 1985 by the comedy scriptwriter Richard Curtis in response to famine in Ethiopia. Currently, its two main supporters are the BBC and Sainsbury's. The BBC is responsible for the live television event on Red Nose Day (an evening of fundraising comedy programmes every two years), and Sainsbury's sells merchandise on behalf of the charity.

Português: Comic Relief (Alívio Cômico em tradução literal) é uma organização britânica de caridade, que utiliza o riso para combater a miséria. Fundada em 1985 pelo escritor de comédias Richard Curtis, a organização surgiu para ajudar a combater a fome na Etiópia. Hoje angaria fundos para países africanos e para lutar contra a pobreza no Reino Unido. Inicialmente os fundos eram levantados de eventos ao vivo, sendo que o mais notável era uma comédia no Shaftesbury em Londres, que foi à televisão em 1986.

Русский: Коми́ческая по́мощь (англ. Comic Relief) — английская благотворительная организация, основанная в 1985 году комедийным сценаристом Ричардом Кёртисом для оказания помощи людям, страдающим от голода в Эфиопии. В настоящее время организация оказывает материальную поддержку африканским странам, а также помогает бедствующим людям в Великобритании. Комическая помощь впервые заявила о себе на Рождество 1985 года, когда её представители вышли в эфир телеканала BBC1 из лагеря для беженцев в Судане.
