    S11 EP3: Daniel Foxx - Billionaire Babies, Bali disasters & a Wrestling Ex

    20/09/2026 | 41 mins.
    Daniel Foxx joins Alan Carr on Life’s A Beach fresh from his sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run - and he’s got stories.

    From travelling like a “middle-aged mum” and discovering a very particular lesbian ice creamery in Melbourne, to spotting Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood in business class, Daniel has a lot to report. There’s also his new book, Fairytales for Privileged Children, the inside scoop from nannies working for ultra-rich families, and his split from his professional wrestler ex, which features highly in his new show How Lovely.

    Plus: how to get an upgrade, why you can't eat your feelings in Bali and the exact circumstances under which Daniel would join the Mile High Club.

    Daniel Foxx’s How Lovely is on tour now https://linktr.ee/danielfoxxtour, and Fairytales for Privileged Children is out this month https://sl1nk.com/j9c9ubx.

    S11 EP2: Patrick Brammall: Colin From Accounts, Last Seen & Raw Dogging In Business Class

    14/09/2026 | 34 mins.
    Patrick Brammall is on board! And things get a little...steamy.

    The star of Colin From Accounts and Apple TV+’s brand-new addictive thriller Last Seen joins Alan for a gloriously chaotic flight - from his disastrous attempt at having a holiday in Maui with two kids under five, to his dog Walter’s jet lag, his love of Australia, and the time his daughter was sick on a plane right in front of rugby legend Andrew Johns.

    Plus: business class “raw dogging”, staying at Claridge’s, why Colin From Accounts deliberately avoids the Sydney postcard clichés, and how Patrick went from comedy to the seriously dark world of Last Seen. And they chat about the NTAs pre-attending. (Congratulations Alan!)

    Fasten your seatbelts! It's one hell of a flight.

    Watch Last Seen on Apple TV+ and catch Season 3 of Colin From Accounts now!
