where is comic relief filmed

Comic Relief is typically filmed in Salford, Greater Manchester , at the BBC’s MediaCityUK home base for the charity TV nights. Some special segments or older specials have also been filmed on location elsewhere, depending on the episode.

Where it’s based

The main Comic Relief telethon moved to MediaCityUK in Salford in 2021, and that has been its usual filming home since then. That’s where the BBC stages the live charity night and related studio portions.

Why people get different answers

“Comic Relief” can refer to the main Red Nose Day telethon, but also to individual specials and sketches. Older entries may show different filming locations, like a one-off special filmed at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

Quick note

So the short answer is: Salford, England, for the main show; other locations for special episodes or segments.
