Summary
Book Club #131 - The Leopard In My House - Rich talks to comedian and fellow cancer survivor Mark Steel about his absolutely brilliant book The Leopard In My House. They chat about the unlikely friendships that have come about because of his cancer, the terrific responses from other comedians, why the NHS should be treasured, the friends we have lost to the disease, why Mark now laughs at people with road rage, the dangers of oral sex and the humanity at the heart of the book and why it’s Eastenders meets Jurassic Park.
