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.

Despite an increasingly successful film career, Eddie Izzard (below) remains one of our top live draws. In Izzardworld, pieces of bread in the toaster conspire deliberately to burn themselves by whispering to each other "stay down, lads". His act is not a straight up and down "autobahn" observational routine, but a weird and wonderful ramble through the winding highways and byways of his mind. He performs his Dressed to Kill show, previously only seen in the States, in front of an anticipated audience of 11,000 at Wembley Arena (0181-902 0902) on Wednesday in aid of the Prince's Trust. Tickets won't be easy to come by, but you may get lucky with returns.
