RTE does comic relief

As the title suggests RTE stars are doing comic relief for charity. I see the line up and I predict it will be a pile of carp. What do others think.

What’s the line up? Haven’t seen this

RTE and comedy in the same sentence is enough to make me break out in hives.

Will people be requested to donate money to make it stop? Could be a serious fundraiser if that was the case.

The only relief will come when it ends.

Some people enjoy that kind of thing. These chaps look happy:

Comic relief with the RTE Concert Orchestra? and the Normal People crew? that wasn't funny.

Nicky Byrne and Eoghan McDermott? If they ran out of funny people before they recruited the four hosts I don't have high hopes for the rest of it.

Those last 2 names bring images of torture rather than comic relief to my mind.

Zig and Zag are set to get dusted off and have their moth holes repaired.

The list of hosts says it all

Just answer me one question, will Spittle be on it?

Was thinking the same when I read this yesterday, but didn’t want to be accused of “misogyny” by virtual signaller E, when he strays from his beloved “scat thread”.

s1ippy · 19-06-2020 02:58PM

This is a hilarious premise, if it were an idea for a satire.

I think thats Twink and Linda Martin you are thinking of

sonic85 · 19-06-2020 03:26PM

God this sounds horrendous. If the list of people involved is accurate itll be tragic to watch. If they were performing outside my window then I'd close the curtains.

Gods Gift · 19-06-2020 07:41PM

Sounds like a long misery slot.

RTE does Misery Relief.

They told me in January Eoghan McDermott was going to Australia

https://evoke.ie/2020/01/28/showbiz/radio-presenter-eoghan-mcdermott-quits-rte

What's the delay? He's still on everything - that concert thing a few months ago, pretending to shave his hair on the LLS for charity and now this

Is he saving up for the ticket? Can I make a donation? Times are hard enough without seeing him on the television over and over again.

Sam Hain · 19-06-2020 09:45PM

Oh great, it looks like Jason Byrne is on board. Aarrgghhhhhhh. My only relief will be filling a bucket with vomit and tears at the death of comedy.

Reports on clickbait sites aside, where did he explicitly state he was going?

Atlantic Dawn · 19-06-2020 10:22PM

Will be interesting how many of them try to plug their own wares while they 'wurk' this gig.

JP Liz V1 · 19-06-2020 10:51PM

Eoghan went to Australia to do their Love Island voiceover only

I'd consider paying the licence if he stayed there.
