Comedy: Gig Of The Week
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.

Two dread words hang over Aussie comedy: "Paul" and "Hogan". But Jimeoin, an Irish-born stand-up who is huge in Australia, couldn't be further removed from the Ocker lad. On a comedy circuit populated with more surrealists than 1920s Paris, Jimeoin is very much a throwback to the "Have you ever noticed?" school of observational humour. "Did you ever look at a bright light, then rub your eyes and it's like the start of Dr Who?" he asks. Appealingly, he is also drawn to the manifestly irrelevant. One show kicked off with Jimeoin admitting: "I don't have a start, other than: you always buy far too many mushrooms."
