Amnesty International’s famous Secret Policeman’s Ball returned this year for the first time in 15 years. The Ball, which raises money and awareness for the human rights charity, has featured famous sketches from the likes of Monty Python, Peter Cook and a (then) baby-faced Rowan Atkinson. It’s being shown tonight on Channel 4, and the show list includes the godlike Eddie Izzard, The Mighty Boosh, the cast of the Green Wing, Stephan Merchant and Chevy Chase! To celebrate tonight’s showing, here’s a video of comedy’s most sartorially primped up comedians, Russell Brand and Noel Fielding, trying to out-funny and each other backstage. It’s like the clash of the titans – if the titans wore women’s clothes, makeup and had massive hair.
