About this listen

 Life’s A Beach sees Alan giving Judith Chalmers and Michael Palin a run for their money as he invites a famous guest each week to discuss their favourite places in the world. Bursting with anecdotes, laidback chat and laugh out loud travel tales - if this podcast was a suitcase you’d have to sit on it. “My Life’s A Beach podcast is the escapism we ALL need right now. I sat down and chatted with some of my famous friends about everything travel. From caravanning in Rhyl to private jetting to the Maldives, my guests spill the beans on their holiday horrors and dream destinations. Let’s face it: we might not have the sun on our faces, but after a listen to this you’ll definitely have a smile” – ALAN CARRCopyright Keep It Light Media Social Sciences Travel Writing & Commentary

    What happens when Alan Carr and Bob Mortimer get together right after filming Last One Laughing? Absolute mayhem. 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.

Along the way there’s Sharon Stone, Billie Holiday, a surprising Bloody Mary debate… and Alan pitches Jeff a brand-new horror film: An American Were-MILF in London.
