Inbetweeners stars reunite for Red Nose Day sketch.
The Inbetweeners stars James Buckley and Joe Thomas are to play Oasis brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher in a sketch for comic relief.
The pair are best known for playing Jay Cartwright (Buckley) and Simon Cooper (Thomas) in the coming-of-age sitcom that ran on E4 from 2008 to 2010.
James Buckley said:
“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.”
The sketch will revisit the brothers’ rise to fame, following their journey from Manchester to become rock superstars, with cameos from celebrity guests including broadcaster Piers Morgan, comedian Hugh Dennis, and MoneySavingExpert founder Martin Lewis.
Joe Thomas said:
“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.”
Additionally, Comic Relief is holding a prize draw for Oasis fans to win the “ultimate Oasis gig.”
Two 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.
The 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.
