Corey Taylor to guest on No Such Thing As A Fish's Comic Relief livestream marathon

Corey Taylor is set to join some brilliant guests for No Such Thing As A Fish's epic 20-hour Comic Relief marathon this weekend.

The Slipknot frontman will (virtually) get involved in the team's ambitious one-off special, which will involve 35 guests chatting for 35 minutes each throughout the broadcast – which is especially handy for Corey, otherwise known as The Great Big Mouth.

Other guests throughout the event will include Michael Palin, Sally Phillips, Tim Minchin, Rhys Darby, Shappi Khorsandi, John Lloyd, Richard Osman, Sue Perkins, Ian Hislop, Eddie Izzard, Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, Gemma Whelan, Stephen Fry and Comic Relief co-founder, Richard Curtis.

"The QI team has really out done themselves with this brilliant idea – 35 guests to mark 35 years of Comic Relief is an extraordinary feat to pull off," says Richard. "I’m nervous to be part of such a clever line-up and will spend the next week dusting off my Comic Relief trivia. It’s going to be a lot of fun and I hope will help raise lots of money for Red Nose Day along the way. I want to say a huge thanks to the QI team for their herculean efforts in bringing us all 20 hours of non-stop fund-raising entertainment. They have some amazing guests, and I am sure a ridiculous amount of interesting facts to enjoy from home."

The No Such Thing As A Fish team add: "We’ve spent seven years messing around and only recording for an hour or two at a time. This year we are thrilled to be pushing ourselves to the absolute limit in the service of one of the best causes around. We aim to read out every fact in the world at least once."

The whole livestream will be available to watch on Comic Relief’s YouTube, with Corey's guest spot happening at 2:40am UK time on March 13 (6:40pm PST).
