Inbetweeners stars play Oasis in Comic Relief sketch
It's been revealed that, 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, Oasis bandmates Liam and Noel, in a parody charting their journey from Manchester lads to global rock superstars.
The sketch, titled Oasis: The Reunion: The Movie, is also set to feature Hugh Dennis, Martin Lewis, Micky Flanagan, Vernon Kay, Mark Silcox, Tasha Ghouri, Melvin Odoom, Roisin Conaty and Piers Morgan.
Comic Relief says: "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".
James Buckley comments: "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 notes: "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".
The footage will air on Friday (21st March) as part of BBC One's Comic Relief broadcast, alongside a host of other sketches. These will include a Not Going Out and Beyond Paradise crossover; a Strictly sketch starring Rachel Parris and Russell Kane; and Chabuddy G becoming manager of The Gladiators.
Comic Relief are also giving fans the chance to experience the ultimate Oasis gig with an exclusive opportunity.
