Matt and David were joined by celebrity
guests for a Live Show special for Comic Relief 2007.
The show took place on Wednesday 22
November 2006 at the Hammersmith Apollo in West London.
Celebrity guest stars included:
Kate Moss (played Vicky Pollard's
sister).
Jonathan Ross (who got a nasty
surprise from Maggie and Judy).
Dawn French (as barmaid Myfanwy in the
Llandewi Breffi village pub).
Kate Thornton (as Stars in their Eyes
presenter in the Anne sketch).
Russell Brand appeared in the show in
a sketch involving transvestites Emily, played by David Walliams, and
Florence (Lucas). He appeared as a plumber who stripped off his boiler
suit to reveal his bra, suspenders and stockings.
The real Dennis Waterman appeared
alongside his fictional, miniature counterpart of the same name. He
joined in to sing the theme tune to the television programme Minder - a
long-standing joke which appears in the Little Britain TV series.
Peter Kay as wheelchair bound Brian
Potter.
Radio 1 DJ Chris Moyles as an
overweight victim of Marjorie's fatfighter's club.
David Baddiel (as a member of the
audience) was brought onstage.
Actress
Patsy Kensit also had a cameo role in the show.
Held in aid of Comic Relief, stars such as
Russell Brand, Kate Moss, Peter Kay and Jonathan Ross joined Matt Lucas and
David Walliams on stage to make last Thursday's event at London's
Hammersmith Apollo a truly special laugh-in.
Aside from the help of comedy heavyweights, arguably the highlight was Holby
City star Jeremy Edwards accidentally exposing himself on stage.
The former Celebrity Big Brother contestant Edwards was pulled out of the
audience by Walliams’s perverted ex-children’s entertainer Des Kaye.
Also joining him on stage was the equally unsuspecting victim David Baddiel.
The pair were then forced to play a game called "hunt the sausage" during
which time Walliam's character started fiddling with Edwards.
It was then that Walliams pulled down both Edwards' trousers and his pants,
exposing 'little Jeremy' to over 3,000 astonished audience members!
Other highlights included the appearance of the real Dennis Waterman, who
interrupted the duo's sketch which sends him up as a dopey midget who always
has to write and sing the theme tune of every show he's in.
Accusing the Little Britain pair, he demanded: "tell me what is the point of
this sketch? Firstly, I don’t speak like that. Secondly, I’m not a midget.
Thirdly, I don’t insist on singing the theme tune."
However, all Lucas and Walliams had to do was mention Minder, On The Up and
New Tricks and the argument was won. All Waterman could do was lead the
audience in a chorus of I Should Be So Good For You to thunderous applause!

Tickets for the exclusive fundraiser were
available for £125, £75 and £35. All the proceeds went to
Comic Relief.
The show, Little Britain's Big Night, took
place at the Hammersmith Apollo in West London and was being filmed by the
BBC to be broadcast on March 16th 2007.
Walliams persuaded Moss to take part after
she and boyfriend Pete Doherty went to see a Little Britain show.
"I've known Kate socially for a little while and she and Pete came to our
show one night and liked it," he said.
"So we thought, let's be cheeky and see if we can convince her, and she was
up for it.
It'll be a speaking role but I don't want to give too much away. When you
see her and what she'll be wearing and doing, it'll be a big surprise."
Walliams believes the supermodel has a flair for comedy.
"The thing about Kate is that she's funny in her own right so we think it'll
be brilliant," he said.
