Taskmaster star Richard Herring reveals ‘incurable’ cancer diagnosis aged 58

 

Richard Herring has shared that he has been diagnosed with cancer a second time, describing it as ‘incurable’ this time.

 

The comedian and Taskmaster victor shared the news in his Substack, detailing how he has blood cancer rather than testicular cancer, which he was diagnosed with in 2021.

 

Explaining the diagnosis, he wrote: ‘I have cancer again. Not ball cancer this time, I can’t afford to lose another one of those (though I will be doing my show The Male Eunuch if it does happen).’

 

The 58-year-old went on: ‘This time I have blood cancer. And God is determined to make sure I get the funniest cancers possible and this one is called hairy cell leukaemia.

 

‘The other bad news is that it is incurable.

 

However, he said that the cancer is treatable and ‘will not kill him’, adding in parentheses: ‘The treatment has a tiny chance of killing me, but so has loading the dishwasher, so don’t worry about it.’
