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.

Fresh from a rabble-rousing performance at the climax of the Pick of the Fringe season at Her Majesty's, this year's Perrier Award winner bubbles in for two nights. He sails close to the wind with his routines about Isaac and Abraham, the Lamb of God and the Crucifixion, but he does win over audiences with the charm of his story-telling.

Jo Brand
After many years in the business and several TV series, Jo Brand still gets an unbeatable buzz from live performing. It all comes down to her natural rapport with audiences.
"I do get on with people. Having been a nurse, I feel I like people. On stage, I'm not being separate from them or espousing views they wouldn't hold. I hope people feel they'd get on with me."
