Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'

Sam Campbell joins Captain Alan for one of the most unhinged episodes yet; featuring Last One Laughing doppelgängers, castle turrets, extreme heat, accidental art auctions, Hollywood near-misses, and a volcanic egg that changes everything. The inflight chat veers from Yoko Ono to Pompeii and a suspiciously life-changing souvenir from Naples. It’s hot. It’s chaotic. It’s deeply wrong in places. And it’s absolutely Life’s a Beach.

From being told to “f*ck off” by Romesh Ranganathan, to phantom sh*tters in Wythenshawe, to Bob’s very unexpected holiday romance… this episode is pure Bob-flavoured joy. There’s also a deep dive on comedy legends like Monty Python and Spike Milligan, how “idiot comedy” is dying out, and why Bob thinks YouTube has changed everything.
