In an exclusive sketch for Red Nose Day 2025, an Inbetweeners reunion is on the cards as James Buckley and Joe Thomas take on the roles of legendary Gallagher brothers, Liam and Noel, in a parody charting their journey from Manchester lads to global rock superstars.
Expect all the drama, sibling showdowns, and unexpected celebrity cameos, wrapped up in a heavy dose of Britpop nostalgia, iconic 90s music moments, and cheeky humour.
Adding to the fun is a star-studded cast, featuring Hugh Dennis, Martin Lewis, Micky Flanagan, Vernon Kay, Mark Silcox, Tasha Ghouri, Melvin Odoom, Roisin Conaty, and Piers Morgan, all stepping into memorable roles from the band’s legendary rise to stardom.
James Buckley says: “I had such a fun time with Joe, making this sketch for Comic Relief, and was honoured to be asked to be a part of it. And, of course, being a huge Oasis fan, getting to be Liam for the day was a dream come true.”
Joe Thomas says: “I grew up watching Comic Relief and the big sketch was always a highlight of the night. So it’s both thrilling and nerve wracking to be a part of it.”
Comic Relief are also giving fans the chance to experience the ultimate Oasis gig with an exclusive opportunity. The lucky winners will receive two VIP tickets in the Royal Box at Wembley Stadium for the highly anticipated Oasis Reunion Tour on Saturday 2 August 2025, hosted by BBC Radio 2’s weekly mid-morning host Vernon Kay – a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for any fan. Winners will also take home a piece of rock ‘n’ roll history, with a guitar signed by both Liam and Noel Gallagher, plus a set of official tour merchandise, as well as travel and accommodation for the night of Saturday 2 August.

About Red Nose Day
Red Nose Day is back on Friday 21 March 2025.
From hip shakers, cake bakers and joke makers to Red Nose wearers, t-shirt buyers and sofa-sitting givers, it’s that time of year to come together to support people in the UK and across the world who are facing the toughest times of their lives.
This Red Nose Day, there’s lots to be excited about as we begin to celebrate Comic Relief hitting the big 4-0 in 2025. With your help over the past 40 years, we’ve raised over £1.6 billion, supported over 100 million people, and had a great time doing it. So, this March, let’s all go big to help put food on plates, roofs over heads, keep little ones safe, and support families affected by conflict. Because when we all do a little something funny for money, giving gets bigger and bigger.
There are lots of ways to take part in Red Nose Day. Visit www.comicrelief.com/rednoseday or follow @comicrelief on social media to find out more.
