Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I te wiki kua hipa, ko ia te kanohi o Comic Relief, e arahi ana i te raupapa moni ā-tau e mātakitaki ana e ngā miriona, i kohia ai te £1 piriona mō ngā take pai. Engari ināianei kua whakaekea e Russell Brand te whakaeke whakamiharo ki taua mahi atawhai ano, e kii ana i 'whakahēhētia' e ia i tana whakaaetanga ki te mahi. I a ia e whakaatu ana i te Proud Archivist o Rānana i te Ratapu, ka ui a Brand, 39,: 'He tika te mahi i te Comic Relief? I tua atu, kei te mātakitaki mai rānei tētahi tangata i te reira?' ka mea ia. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Kua whakaekehia e Russell Brand te Comic Relief e rua noa iho nga ra i muri i tana whakauru i te whakaaturanga (whakaahua) i te Paraire kua hipa. I kii ano a Brand, 39, 'i raru ia i te whakaae ki te mahi whakahaere i te ra kohikohi moni a Red Nose Day i tera wiki i tirohia e 8.1 miriona taangata, i awhina i te Comic Relief ki te pakaru i te aukati £ 1 piriona. 'Koia ēnei ngā pātai i pātai ai ahau ki a au anō i a au e haere ana ki waho i runga i te atamira o Palladium. A ko te whakautu, 'Kāore, kāore rawa.' Kātahi ka puta mai ia ki te whakaeke i ngā whakahaere atawhai o Ingarangi, e kī ana he 'wāhanga o te raruraru' rātau. I riri te kaiwaiata ki ētahi kaimātakitaki i te rā o Red Nose i a ia e tawai ana mō te tohatoha i ngā pūmārō. I te wa o te pouaka whakaata atawhai, i kii a Brand: 'Kei te tu kino ahau ki te tono ki a koe kia tohaina he moni hei hoko i nga werohanga, he tino rereke ki te ahua o taku whakapau i te nuinga o taku waa, me nga tau e rua o taku koiora,' i kii ia. 'Kei te whawhai ki nga whakaaro katoa o toku tinana. 'Kia kaua e mahi 'em kore mahi ano, e he whakamataku. Ka tohaina e au. Ko te tohatoha he atawhai.

Ko tā te kaikanikani me te kaiwhakawhanake i a ia anō: 'I te mutunga ka tangohia te kawenga mai i ngā mana ā-roto o te kāwanatanga i hangaia, ngā kaporeihana, ā, ka whakaiti i te ahotea me ngā taumahatanga mā te whakatakoto i te kawenga ki runga i te iwi noa.

Kua whakaekea e te kaiwaiata a Russell Brand te Comic Relief e rua nga ra i muri i tana manaaki. I whakaekehia he whakaekenga whakamiharo ki te mahi atawhai e tohu ana he waahanga o te raru.
