The rumoured line-up is amazing.

There’s talk of a huge comedy gig in Dublin’s 3Arena in March to launch Comic Relief in Ireland.

According to The Sun, The charity gig is said to be happening on St Patrick’s Day with some of the biggest Irish comedian’s signed on.

It’s being organised by Deirdre O’Kane and will see Dara O Briain and Patrick Kielty take to the stage for “Green Nose Day”.

The money raised will go towards humanitarian relief efforts in countries like Syria, and charities at home, particularly those who deal with the homeless crisis.

Deirdre has said, “I just want to thank so many of my fellow comics for agreeing to it. It’s a reaction to Aleppo and our own homeless crisis.”

No word yet that this is fully confirmed but it’s definitely looking likely.
