The show starts at 7pm on Friday 24 March and carries on until the small hours, with hilarious sketches and heartbreaking films all aiming to convince you to do your bit for charity.

Check out the full schedule below, with information about who's presenting and what's happening throughout the night.

We'll be updating with more information right through until Friday, although as this is a live event run by comedians, timekeeping could get a little bit... messy.
