Is Karl Pilkington a real person?/Is Karl an actor?
Karl is 100% real. He’s an eccentric little fella from Manchester who left school at 15 and worked his way up from hospital radio to become head of production at the biggest alternative music radio station in the UK. He has since become an author, TV personality and an audiobook mogul. His opinions and anecdotes may seem bizarre compared to the typically inane banter of most DJs, but that’s because the thoughts of a bald northern chimp are not normally broadcast on the radio. His name is definitely not Graham.
