This Halloween - there’s a peek behind the curtain for you! - I had the pleasure of chatting with the hilarious Alan Carr. On this episode, Alan tells me about when a well-timed stomach bug resulted in his first big break, as well as the time he sort of went off with Amy Winehouse’s Q Award. 
We couldn't have got a better guest for our series finale, he’s an absolute riot!

Today’s guest dialled in all the way from Los Angeles - that’s right! We’re international like that.

She also tells me about what it was like being bullied at school, getting fired from T. G. I. Friday’s, and her first foray into the world of stand-up.
