Comedians currently seem fixated on their mortality. Miles Jupp talks about his brain tumour onstage. Janey Godley and Rhod Gilbert discuss their cancer. It is a topic Richard Herring also reflects on entertainingly and thoughtfully in his new show.
The title speaks volumes. Can I Have My Ball Back? tells you immediately what cancer Herring had. It also tells you that despite being deep into his 50s, he still possesses that childish joker streak that first emerged when he was in a double act with Stewart Lee three decades ago.
