Huge gig set up to help family of comedian Billy Anderson following tragic crash

Ireland's top comedians are gathering for a massive show later this month to help raise funds for the family of a young Dad who died in following a crash in Wexford.

American legend Billy Anderson, 37, was tragically killed after his car collided with another near Gorey on May 26.

Billy, who had lived in Gorey for a number of years, left devastated friends and family behind including a young son.

The popular counsellor was widely known in the comedy world as well as Ireland's American Football scene as a coach with the Wexford Eagles .

To help raise funds for his family a huge gig has been organised in the Workman's club.

Names such as Niel Delamerem Fred Cooke, Chris Kent, Jarlath Regan, and Damo Clarke are just a fraction of the talent who'll be performing to help out.

Billy Anderson's Craichouse will take place on Friday June 21 - and tickets are going for a great price at €15.80.
