S10 EP10: Amy Gledhill

Fresh off Last One Laughing, the brilliant Amy Gledhill joins Alan Carr on Life’s A Beach for some proper belly laughs. From the surreal pressure cooker of LOL (where no one laughs for hours…) to chaotic nights out in Hull, dating as a comedian, and a wild Texas romance - this flight is packed with sharp, silly, and totally unfiltered moments. Plus: wigs, Ouija boards, and why being funny might be ruining Amy’s love life.

Leigh Francis joins Captain Carr for an Alan Air flight packed with wild stories, nostalgic throwbacks and plenty of unexpected turns. Leigh chats about his podcast Unlikely Friends with his wife Jill, Emma Bunton, and her husband Jade Jones, how they met, what gets cut out, and why Jill's a better human than he is. Alan reminds Leigh of the time he didn't know who Adele was at a party, owning Michael Hutchence's clothes, and his love of Florida and Disney. Plus: retro gaming, crocodiles in the wild, and bum lips.
