COMEDY: THE BEST OF THE REST
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.

, the radical magician, famously became the first person in 85 years to be drummed out of the Magic Circle after revealing the secrets behind several tricks on BBC1's How Do They Do That?. By way of revenge, he is charging Magic Circle members pounds 10 to see his enjoyable Monday Night Magic show (the usual price is pounds 6).

Rainer Hersch
On stage and on Radio 4, Rainer Hersch had success with his All Classical Music Explained. Now he's back with his new show, Rainer Hersch Conducts the Festival Festival Orchestra. It is an original act - part- musical, part stand-up comedy - which has been compared to Victor Borge. He uses six musicians to help him deconstruct the meaning of symphonies and concertos.
