Friday 16 May 2025 Venue:  Salisbury Arts Centre     map   Comedy Address:   Bedwin Street, Salisbury, Wiltshire, SP1 3UT Telephone:  Box office: 01722 320 333 Event:  Richard Herring: Can I Have My Ball Back? - 7.30pm - 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?
