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.Is comedy the new rock 'n' roll (part 504)? Again it would seem so, to judge by the groupies (or gag hags) loitering in the venues. The comedian Alan Davies was relaxing in the Gilded Balloon bar (where comedians drink) when a stranger asked him, 'Are you a comedian?' 'Yes,' said Davies and felt in his pocket for a leaflet. No need. 'I don't want to see the show,' said the admirer, 'but how about some sex?' That's his story and he's sticking to it . . . The Jaffa-juggling maniac Paul Morocco has been forced to cancel the rest of his run at the Assembly Rooms owing to an illnesss in his family . . .
