Afternoon...so hopefully you've all read Tony Livesey's blog about his preparations for Stand Up for Comic Relief - if not, you can read it here. He's one of six radio presenters from across the BBC involved in an epic comedy showdown to raise money for Comic Relief.
We've now got our hands on a video of Tony's performance (above) and some behind-the-scenes pictures of his prep and performance which we thought was only fair to put up here for your enjoyment.
For those of you who don't know - Tony had to perform a 5-minute stand up routine competing against the likes of Radio 2's Tony Blackburn, Radio 4's Jenni Murray and Dev from Radio 1. If you want to see all the performances (although, obviously Tony's is the best...but we're biased) - head to www.bbc.co.uk/rednoseday/standup.
And then it's up to you to vote! All details of how to do this and what it costs are below.
Tony Livesey refers to the notes on his hand onstage; and Tony with his mentor, Justin Moorhouse
