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.

Jeff Green admits to feeling nervous before his big-break West End run. "Sometimes I sit in the corner and think, `what have I done?' Maybe I could go back to my old job at BOC. I could pick it all back up again. I'm sure they still need gas salesmen." That shouldn't be necessary. His gentle, approachable, observational style should go down well on the big stage. "I want to be liked. I'm not confrontational. I'm the brunt of all my stories. When I started 10 years ago, it was about the comedy of piss-taking. But it's too easy to joke about something you hate. Where does that get us?" His most fertile area is discussing relationships. "Most comedy is about conflict, and I find conflict in relationships. I'm a crap boyfriend. But a lot of what I do gets the audience nudging each other and saying, `that's you, that is'."
