Comedy Lab , Channel 4’s unique comedy showcase that unearths the stars of the future, is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a new eight-part series, showing over the next week. Karl Pilkington is best known for the world-record-breaking podcasts that he does with friends Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant where he is frequently told that he is an idiot. Karl left school with one GCSE: an E in history, which he doesn’t remember taking. After years of ridicule, he has decided to find out just how intelligent he is with help from Germaine Greer, Will Self and even David Icke.
