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 great Eric Morecambe was never so mad - nor could he make a leopard-skin swimming costume look as ludicrous. But there are distinct echoes of his style in the balding, be-spectacled maniac rushing gabbling round the stage, producing objects that have been bulging suspiciously from his pants, and ripping the logic out of as many scenarios as possible.
There are some comedians where you think that, given enough time and a bottle of vodka, you could probably come up with a few of their jokes. This show goes into an entirely unimaginable comic dimension however - what kind of stimulant, for example, inspires someone to use a bucket of water as a slide projector, and enables them to pull it off?
Ridiculusmus has paired the manic with a depressive in this wonderful two-hander about searching for the meaning of life, and uses the topic to indulge in all kinds of philosophical absurdities and outrageous physical comedy. I swear, you'll never have seen anything quite like it.
