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.The American stand-up Scott Capurro, one of the team captains on C4's new gay quiz, The Staying In Show, is a man for whom the adjective "waspish" could have been invented.
Much of his act concerns his sexual orientation, but audiences would be well-advised to think twice before complaining about it. "Some woman yelled out, `Change the subject'!" he recalls. "She didn't wanna hear any more about my being queer, so I destroyed her. Audiences are like children; if you allow them to see your weaknesses, they'll go after you." You have been warned.
The bill also features Paul Zerdin, Roger Monkhouse and Bruce Griffiths.
