COMEDY: GIG OF THE WEEK
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.

Wimbledon Studio Theatre, London SW19
Twenty-five years ago, Jim Sweeney and Steve Steen were just two more aspiring comedians hitting the Edinburgh Fringe with a lot of hope and bad Kevin Keegan-style perms.
Appearing as The Wee Wees, they performed a show about two lads hitchhiking from Clapham to Cornwall, which was dismissed by The Scotsman as "puerile". A quarter of a century on, they are two pillars of the comedy establishment, highly regarded for their improv work with the Comedy Store Players. They are now moving away from improv and performing a script. Danny's Wake, by Sweeney, centres on two mates meeting at the funeral of an old school friend.
