But it was embarrassing and weird, and if there was something wrong, he didn't want to know about it.Anyway, that kind of stuff only happens to other people, doesn't it?At the start of 2021 Richard 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.Telling Rich's personal story alongside an exploration of what defines masculinity and 'maleness' in society, Can I Have My Ball Back? is not your typical cancer memoir. Whether they're nuts, bollocks, 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.Type: Living with Cancer & Other IllnessesRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
