Edinburgh Festival: Lano and Woodley
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.The word on this Australian double act has been gathering momentum all Festival, culminating this week in a deserved Perrier nomination. Essentially traditional knockabout variety, the show blends song, mime and silent movie chases with more modern deconstructionist elements of stand-up comedy. Chaplinesque clowning and Stan 'n' Ollie slapstick are held together by effortless ad-libbing and impromptu script rewriting. Lano (fall guy) and Woodley (straight man) hold all the timeless hallmarks of the male double act (they live together and know nothing about girls). If anything, at 75 minutes, this show is not long enough.
