Having spear-headed Comic Relief’s previous presence in Ireland via the highly successful Paddy’s Night In Support Of Comic Relief shows at the 3Arena, Deirdre O’Kane has used her time in lockdown to connect with friends, colleagues and contacts in the entertainment industry to bring Comic Relief to television in partnership with RTÉ. The result is a who’s who of Irish comedy, music, film and entertainment!
Broadcast live from RTÉ studios from 8pm with links to Irish talent across the country and further afield, this will be an unmissable night’s entertainment worth staying in for.
