Comedians are #5for5

When you’re a comedian, it’s child’s play to make people laugh. So a bunch of well-known comics grabbed the chance to act like toddlers in a series of videos supporting #5for5, Theirworld’s global campaign focussed on giving children aged 0-5 the best start in life. Performers happy to don onesies for the cause included Matt Lucas, Rainn Wilson, Shappi Khorsandi, Nish Kumar, Wanjiku the Teacher, Jackie Tohn and Wendy Liebman.
