Brian Lobel
Far from the world of yellow bracelets and pink ribbons,
Ball is the story of a young man and his quirky and unique struggle
against cancer. This irreverent, honest and witty one-man show challenges
the Lance Armstrong 'inspirational' cancer narrative to reveal
the sperm bank, the catheters, and the hair loss in all their glory.
