Richard Herring: Can I Have My Ball Back?

  • The Old Market 11a Upper Market Street Hove, England, BN3 1AS United Kingdom (map)

LIMITED AVAILABILITY

In 2021 Richard Herring went to his GP to find out why his right ball seemed to be growing bigger. It turned out that he had testicular cancer and one month later he was lying in hospital waiting to have his murderous gonad removed. Would he survive? (No spoilers!)

For a comedian who had done a whole show on male genitalia (Talking Cock) and written a book about toxic masculinity (The Problem With Men) this felt like some cruel trick of fate. 

With extra dates added in 2025 for his much-anticipated return to stand-up after six years, Richard talks bollocks and answers the question on everyone's lips: Is a severed gonad in a jar a fitting prize to bring in for Taskmaster?

★★★★ "The story of his journey through the NHS, the consideration of whether he is less of a man now he’s a monoball, just like Hitler, and his readjusted priorities are all skilfully told with an endearing modesty and easy wit" - Chortle
