Alan Davies reveals key symptom that led to bladder cancer diagnosis

Alan Davies has given fans a health update following his bladder cancer diagnosis. The comedian, best known for his roles in Jonathan Creek and QI, was diagnosed in 2024.

Speaking to Jonathan Ross, Davies, 60, said he noticed blood in the toilet bowl, which led to his diagnosis. He underwent a flexible cystoscopy to remove the tumour and has since been given the all-clear.

Davies is now back on tour with his show 'Think Ahead', his first in ten years. He said the experience has made his material 'richer' and 'better', as he now addresses serious topics such as grief and abuse.
