Arts Edinburgh Festival: Campaign tactics
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.

making the best of the Edinburgh Festival:

Don't eat anything except cheese rolls brought from strange men in the Pleasance courtyard. Book into a monastery one night a week. Take yoghurt in the event of thrush.
Adam Bloom,
comedian
I survive by talking about myself and going to see loads of shows and not drinking alcohol as a way to go to sleep. You can have fun without being pissed. Dive in head first and go with it.

Ringmaster, Circus of Horrors
Last time we were in Edinburgh we went for the drink option. Also,
I can gouge out people's hearts during the show, and that gives me
nourishment.
Dave Gorman, `Mrs Merton' writer,
comedian
Last year I was permamently tipsy, so I never got a hangover. I am not recommending it as a lifestyle choice. But I don't see any other option when you're here.
