The comedian and author of The Problem with Men delivers a wise and witty account of his diagnosis with testicular cancer and how the news has impacted on his complex opinions on modern masculinity.
Signed Edition
A Standard Edition is available here
At the start of 2021 Richard Herring was diagnosed with testicular cancer. For a man whose output includes a stand up tour titled 'Talking Cock' and who regularly interrogates our attitudes towards masculinity, it was a diagnosis that came with additional layers of complexity.
Mixing Rich's personal story alongside what defines masculinity and 'maleness' in society, Can I Have My Ball Back? is not your typical cancer memoir. Whether they're nuts, or bollocks, or gonads, or family jewels; from the phrase 'grow some balls' to infamous WWII songs about Hitler; Rich unpicks the tangle of emotions around his own testing times.
