Alan Carr's 'Life's a Beach'

S11 EP9: James Acaster: Traitors, Coffins and The Worst Airport Experience Ever

2026-11-02

Two Traitors step onto a plane… and immediately start spilling the secrets. ✈️



This week, Alan welcomes fellow Celebrity Traitor James Acaster for a debrief on castle life, murderous missions and the traumatising experience of being buried alive. Why were they left in their coffins while the cameras got their shots? And we hear why no one wanted to shout "Haggis!"

Plus, James reveals the truth behind those Traitors headlines and how his partner’s dream trip to Disney World turned into an airport nightmare.

There's also Kettering nostalgia, celebrity holidays, questionable food recommendations and James's very unusual plan for releasing his brand new comedy special on YouTube on 1st December.

Life's a Beach with Alan Carr. No one is safe. Certainly not the Faithful.

“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 CARR
