Running Tor Browser and setting some options on your IRC client?
Tor Browser isn't even needed. Once he has a relay in place, all he has to do is teach the IRC client to connect through it.
I run a Tor relay 24/7 at home on a dedicated computer. I like to setup a ZNC IRC bouncer on the same host have have it connect the Tor relay's SOCKS5 port via Proxychains. You'll need to authenticate the ZNC Freenode server nick via SASL if memory serves correctly.
Then configure your IRC client to connect to the ZNC bouncer. Set it and forget it.
The only non Tor trafic exposure is registering the Freenode nick.
