Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

This London-based Norwegian stand-up has just bagged a role in Vic and Bob's new BBC sitcom House of Fools, which airs next year, playing Bob's spoilt son. Currently, he's performing his new show, Stranger, at the Edinburgh Fringe, where he won the Best Newcomer Award last year. His interest in stand-up was sparked at 14 when he saw Eddie Murphy on TV. “I have the freedom to say what I want to say. But you have to work really hard to get it right.”
