Hundreds of drinkers showed their funny sides when they took part in a mammoth Comic Relief fundraising binge.
Crazy stunts and classic party games kept punters busy in the Belvedere pub, Hardings Elms Road, Crays Hill.
Women wore pyjamas while men slipped into slinky nighties. Heads were shaved and legs were waxed. Volunteers were auctioned off for dates and as slaves for a day.
Even radio personality Martin Day took part in the fundraising mayhem with an Essex FM roadshow. Manageress Arzu Drew said: "It was big. Really big.
"The phones didn't stop ringing all day. People rang up asking how to get to the pub."
