Brian Lobel

Brian Lobel is an artist who has been working in cancer care and patient advocacy since 2003, after a diagnosis of testicular cancer when he was 20 years old. Brian performs and writes creatively and academically on the subject of cancer.

His first play on the subject, BALL & Other Funny Stories About Cancer – seen by tens of thousands of people, including medical students, doctors, nurses and patient groups – looked candidly at masculinity, sexuality, and the pressures to be ‘inspiring’, ‘normal’ and an ideal ‘survivor’. Brian works extensively with medical research teams focused on psychosocial care.
