About this ebook

Take a gleeful voyage with famed English comedian Karl Pilkington as he embarks on a quest for knowledge. Karl's logic might be what some call . . . eccentric. For instance, he believes that owning 1,777 acres of the moon is a splendid idea, and that human testicles should be relocated to one’s earlobes. In his thirst for deeper understanding, he undergoes a brain scan and attempts to join Mensa. This hysterical book includes pearls of wisdom from famous comedians Ricky Gervais, Russell Brand, Noel Fielding, and more!

Is Karl destined to discover a new truth, or is he headed for a descent into madness? You decide.

“. . . hilarious pearls of wisdom on life.”—Heat

Brilliant, a great read. I knew of Karl through radio and tv and thought there was not any more in the book but I was wrong. It a bargain!!

About the author

As a hospital radio DJ, Karl Pilkington filled news bulletins with strange-but-true stories and used the transmitter to broadcast pirate radio, for which he was sacked. He then moved to Manchester’s Piccadilly Radio, where he hosted a late-night show filled with impenetrably cryptic puzzles. Next was XFM in London, where he was producer and later a star of XFM’s Ricky Gervais Show, a forerunner of the legendary world-record-breaking podcasts.
