COMEDY: GIG OF THE WEEK
Phil Kay tonight La Belle Angele, Edinburgh
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.Phil Kay is one of the best off-the-cuff performers in the business. He really scores in forsaking his script entirely. "I never go on with the words worked out," he says. "I know before I go on that I've got to do something about, say, brown sauce. But if you hold on to something you must do, people will see that. I never get nervous because nothing is planned. I'm a great believer in running on and something happening. Once I ran on, fell over and hit my thigh on the stage. Throughout the show, I kept going back to a 'bruise update'. Another night I found this stepladder that I wore as a rucksack all evening. Good shows are where you're Mister Mad and climbing the balcony."
