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.

Performing here to predominantly white audiences, Felix Dexter claims he has to go to the jazz section of Our Price just to see another black face. It doesn't deter him, though. His set proceeds at breakneck pace and covers a wild range of material - there's an unexpected (and beautiful) rendition of Van Morrison's 'Moondance'. Dexter by name, dextrous by nature. Gilded Balloon (venue 38), 223 Cowgate (031-226 2151). 10.15pm. To 27 Aug
