Charity You're a Star (initially known as You're a Star Charity Special) is a talent contest created by Raidió Teilifís Éireann (RTÉ), in which various Irish celebrities sang to raise money for the charity of their choice. The show was aired live from Dublin City University's theatre, The Helix.
The first season was named You're a Star Charity Special, which was conceived to be a variation of parent programme You're a Star. However it was much more successful that originally thought, so later seasons were called Charity You're a Star to imply more independence and permanence.
