Comic Relief was started in America, but I can't remember the last time they did the big benefit thing ... our humor tends to be more of the sketch or stand-up varieties (and sometimes isn't terribly funny, as in Bobcat Goldthwait in the shower at Comic Relief I or II (which is so awful I can't find it on YouTube) or Roseanne Barr in general), but you typically don't see drag lip-lipsynching outside of a gay bar.
