The Independent Recommends: Comedy
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.

He gets big whoops of recognition with such observations as: "Every bloke in this room will agree that buying a kebab on a Saturday night is the final admission that you're not going to pull. Even the kebab-shop owner joins in - `Would you like chilli sauce on your no-sex evening?"' The star of They Think It's All Over is currently touring his Un-Ironed show.

It may sound poncy to say it, but Stewart Lee's stand-up is artfully crafted, possessing an almost musical rhythm. He also does the best - and most thought-provoking - material about the death of Princess Diana I've yet heard.
