Press clippings
Karl Pilkington's alter ego falls into existential despair when Aunt Norma replaces him with a young, go-getting care worker called Ruby. Can a biscuit binge help? Or a change of direction into the world of chauffeuring? It might bring him enough money to move out of Norma's flat for good.

Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 10th January 2020TV review: Sick Of It, Sky One
I've read that Karl Pilkington has said that Sick Of It is "not meant to be that funny", but I'm more than happy to review it on this comedy website. It's a lot funnier than a lot of television shows that bill themselves as comedies.

British Comedy Guide, 3rd November 2018Premier League predictions: Lawro v Karl Pilkington
Supporting Manchester United at the moment is "like having a tortoise as a pet," according to comedian, TV presenter and Red Devils fan Karl Pilkington.
BBC, 28th September 2018Karl Pilkington's new sitcom refuses to work for its laughs, or its pathos. He plays Karl, a newly and unhappily single cabbie whose implausible fecklessness, in a world full of monstrous chancers, creates farcical situations from nothing. He also plays Karl's more forthright inner monologue as a separate character, which is a way to crowbar in Pilkington's trademark observational rants. But, in a scripted comedy that aims for bittersweetness, simply spelling out what pains the protagonist is another easy shortcut.
