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.Alan Davies has a naturally funny manner, whether he's discussing why he finds Quentin Tarantino's films unsatisfactory ("I need more than a bit of quirky dialogue about cheese- burgers") or explaining why Arsenal aren't top of the Premiership ("What's gone wrong with Arsenal is that Manchester United win every game they play.")
He could win any talkathon going. "If Radio 1 broke down, I could keep it going for 24 hours," he says. "I can't shut up." This gift of the gab is what makes him such a likable stand-up. He is joined by a high-class line-up of Tony Hawks, Arthur Smith, Mark Thomas, John Maloney and Rosie Ash at The Alternative Royal Variety Show benefit for the Neonatal Unit at St George's Hospital.
Wimbledon Theatre, London SW19 (0181-540 0362) tomorrow
