Comedy Jason Byrne
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.The comedy world is flush with Irishmen at the moment - two of them (the eventual winner Tommy Tiernan and Ed Byrne) were on the Perrier shortlist at this year's Edinburgh Festival. Jason Byrne (no relation, above) is riding similarly high, having just had a special broadcast on Channel 4. His live act, which involves a range of wacky props, has been described as "part Spike Milligan, part Duracell Bunny", which exactly sums up his energetic brand of surrealism. He is on an impressive bill for a special comedy night, compered by Junior Simpson, which also features Ross Noble and Andre Vincent, on Wednesday.
Pleasance Theatre, London N7 (0171-609 1800) Wed 8pm
