James Buckley and Joe Thomas will be parodying Oasis for a Comic Relief sketch.

James and Joe – who starred together as Jay Cartwright and Simon Cooper in sixth form comedy ‘The Inbetweeners’ – will be portraying Liam Gallagher and Noel Gallagher, respectively, for the Red Nose Day sketch.

They will be be joined for the comedy skit by an all-star cast which includes Hugh Dennis, Martin Lewis, Micky Flanagan, Vernon Kay, Mark Silcox, Tasha Ghouri, Melvin Odoom, Roisin Conaty and Piers Morgan.

In a statement, Buckley, 37, 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.’

Thomas, 41, added: ‘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 BBC says viewers can ‘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’ in the sketch.

Comic Relief has also confirmed it will be giving away two VIP tickets in the Royal Box at Wembley Stadium on the ‘Oasis Live ’25’ reunion tour on Saturday 2 August, 2025.

The lucky winners also get a guitar signed by both Liam and Noel and a set of official tour merchandise.
