Karl Pilkington was born and raised in Manchester, before later moving to London to pursue his career as a Radio Producer where he began working at XFM. He stayed under the radar for a few years before eventually running the desk for The Ricky Gervais Show on a Saturday afternoon.
Whilst at first he did not have any air-time, he was slowly integrated into the show until eventually he had become their equal as a Radio Presenter. Comedy star Ricky Gervais took an immediate liking to him, his ‘Manc Skally-wag’ ways and his ‘head like a ******* orange’ were just a couple of the many, many reasons why Gervais become fascinated by the unassuming guy from Salford.
After The Ricky Gervais Radio Show, Karl went on to feature in TV shows such as Extra’s, An Idiot Abroad, Derek, The Moaning of Life and the animated adaptation of the radio series The Ricky Gervais Show, all created by or affiliated with Ricky Gervais, he even was afforded a cameo big screen appearance in Gervais’s written and produced film Cemetery Junction. During this time Pilkington has also written a number of books, mostly involving his experiences whilst travelling the world during the hit series An Idiot Abroad.
Karl Pilkington has forged a career and amassed millions of pounds through simply moaning, whinging and literally being an idiot, in doing so he has also become the nations favourite bald, whingy, stupid, head like a ******* orange, charlie brown looking, shaven monkey.. Idiot.
Whilst he is grateful for the opportunities he has been given, he often says that it is difficult to be proud of his achievements as he hasn’t actually done anything of any worth.
With his 43rd birthday looming, Karl has decided he would like to take a step back from TV work with Ricky and Steve and forge his own career path. He had once held aspirations of becoming a brain surgeon, however luckily for us, Karl has decided that it would probably be slightly more realistic, if not safer, if he would try his hand at football management, with the not so realistic dream of one day managing his beloved Manchester United.
We follow him as he goes abroad once again in the search for his first role in management, will he be successful or will he fail? Will he stay abroad or will he make it all the way home to the ‘Theatre of Dreams’? Whatever happens one thing is for certain, he is going to ******* moan!!
