Alan Carr has a podcast (called Life’s a Beach) and it’s quite an easy listening show as he’s asking his guests to talk about their holiday experiences. More recent episodes are on YouTube (here) and the premise is that you are flying Alan Air. Despite the “in flight” announcements every now and then it’s filmed on a sofa with Alan’s dogs lying around.

Although the guest may promote something – it’s not the main focus of the chat.

Jimmy appeared on S9 Ep10 (published March 17^th 2025) which is unfortunately only published on Spotify at the moment – see here.

It’s about 36 minute long – which actually left me wanting more.

They’ve known each other many, many years and I’d recommend giving it a listen.

Without giving too much away the topics covered include:

• Does Jimmy get “where’s Alan” shouted at him
• What does he wear on the beach
• What are his earliest holiday memories
• How Alan and Jimmy first worked together in Galway
• How having kids has changed holidays
• When did Jimmy first go to a hotel and realise he was doing well
• Paul O’Grady going on holiday with Cilla
• Hosting parties
• Has Jimmy ever been on holiday with a celebrity and has he been to Necker Island
• Easy Jet flights / Ibiza
• Las Vegas
• Where has been Jimmy’s holiday hell
• How adventurous is he with food
• Can he separate holidays and work
• The promo part is a couple of minutes on Last One Laughing UK, which was a week from launch
• Performing at the Comedy Store
• Serial killers and true crime on Netflix
• What’s on Jimmy’s bucket list
• Is Jimmy in the Mile High club
• Museum or booze?
• Pool or beach?
• Does he have travel insurance?
• Tip ‘em or f*ck ‘em
• Thank you for flying Alan Air
