Comedy Central, the brand that makes life funnier, is proud to announce the return of its award-winning cancer-awareness campaign, Novemballs!

As a brand that always strives to tell the funny truths, Comedy Central is taking this opportunity to spotlight the importance of “taking care of your balls”.   

Comedy Central has teamed up with the Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) to bring you Novemballs, a testicular cancer awareness campaign to educate men about lowering their cancer risk.

“Novemballs is a campaign we get excited about every year as we use humour to encourage men to check their ‘Gonads’, as we are calling them this year. We’ve had fun working on this campaign and hope that it will inspire men to look after their crown jewels because they’re priceless” says Dillon Khan, Vice President of Comedy Central.  

Lorraine Govender, CANSA National Manager: Health Promotion said, “The Cancer Association of South Africa (CANSA) is excited to partner with Comedy Central to educate men about lowering the cancer risk.

”Early detection of testicular cancer can save lives. In South Africa, it’s one of the most common male cancers in men between the ages of 15 and 49.

”Most testicular cancers can be detected early – a lump or swelling may be the first sign that a medical practitioner should be consulted.

”Young men need to start testicular self-examinations soon after puberty. Go check out our website (instructions on doing a self-examination).

”And we encourage men to reach out for counselling and support. It’s as easy as making an appointment via our CANSA Help Desk, it’s free and confidential. Or join our support groups or online support programmes. You don’t have to deal with this alone.”  

Join us in spreading awareness, embracing humour, and making a real difference in the fight against testicular cancer.
