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.

CHOICE: THE CRITICS:

COMEDY James Rampton

Bottom Ade Edmondson may have embarked on a career as a (relatively) serious novelist but that has not prevented him and Rik Mayall from continuing to show their Bottom on their gloriously puerile Big Number Two Tour. Brighton Dome Mon-Tue, Manchester Apollo Wed, Edinburgh Festival Theatre Thur

Jeff Green (right) It sometimes seems as though the white male thirtysomething observational stand-up is an endangered species these days, but they don't come much better than this likeable lad. Derby Assembly Rooms tonight, Milton Keynes Stables tomorrow, Leeds City Varieties Tue

Mark Little There's more to this Australian than a bit of previous on Neighbours. The Big Breakfast presenter is also a notable stand-up. As this newspaper put it, he is "out-Hirsting Damien and putting new life into the hackneyed adjective 'surreal'." Redhill Harlequin tonight, Lewisham Theatre Sat, Swindon Arts Centre Sun, Aberdeen Arts Centre Wed-Thur
