Comedy: Boothby Graffoe
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.

Any comedian who names himself after a small village in Lincolnshire is bound to be a little bit different, and Boothby Graffoe (below) is certainly that. At six foot four and with a booming voice, he wins people over through sheer force of personality. Don't ask him to sum up his stand- up style, though. "I dunno," he reflects. "Maybe I should stick to `abstract surrealism with a streak of japery', as one critic put it."

Phill Jupitus, star of TV's Never Mind the Buzzcocks, has a similarly charismatic air when he performs live; indeed, he may be the funniest West Ham fan alive. He has been known to devote his entire show to the film Star Wars. If you go and see Jupitus, may the comic force be with you.
