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.Glad tidings, great joy and all the rest of it at the Bloomsbury – but it's probably fair to say that you can forget all that stuff about donkeys and virgin births, as Robin Ince and a crack troupe of comedians, scientists, thinkers and musicians come to spread the Good News about a rationalist Christmas.
Not that there's a whole lot of God-bashing afoot (unlike some of the rather smug goings-on on the circuit of late, so Amen to that); instead, like a be-jumpered family fighting over the remote control, a packed bill jostle to espouse new ideas and have a blinking good laugh.
Among the comics lining up – most for more than one of the nights – are Josie Long, sparring partners Stewart Lee and Richard Herring, Isy Suttie, pop-cabaret sorts Frisky and Mannish, Tony Law and Chris Addison.
And for those of an early-Nineties indie vintage, there's the added bonus of Nine Carols stalwart Jim Bob from Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine. Rejoice!
