About this episode

Nina Conti joins Alan Carr to share hilarious travel stories and insights into her career.

Nina Conti is on board Alan Air and it's as brilliantly bonkers as you'd expect. She reveals the skiing holiday where her dad's booming voice bolted her into action, the holiday romance with an American Marine that ended very badly, losing Monkey on a flight to Austria, why Tokyo didn't live up to expectations, and why she escapes to yurts, road trips and Arthur's Seat whenever she gets the chance. Plus, Alan and Nina reminisce about winning the BBC New Comedy Award, swap Edinburgh Fringe stories, chat about her directorial debut "Sunlight" and Nina's hilarious new C*nti Cabaret, coming to the Underbelly at Bristo Square at this year's Edinburgh Fringe.
