Synopsis

A hilarious guide to travelling, from the man behind The World of Karl Pilkington – one of our most innovative thinkers, visionaries and prophets, or as Ricky Gervais knows him, 'the funniest man alive in Britain today'.

Pack your suitcase and take an irreverent trip with the unlikely star of The Ricky Gervais Podcast Show, Karl Pilkington, to the furthest corners of Europe. From sunbathing in t-shirts and lizards the length of Toblerones, to a toxic apartment in Ibiza with a used loo that can’t be flushed – these witty musings could put you off travelling forever!

Gain insight into the curious life of this comic genius from pithy anecdotes. Find out about his mum’s obsession with keeping gnomes indoors and his experiences getting high on dope chocolate, to his childhood dentist who filled his perfect back teeth to give them ‘extra protection’.

Featuring Pilkington’s original illustrations and imaginative scribblings.
