comedy: lee and herring
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.As every classic partnership from Laurel and Hardy to Morecambe and Wise has shown, the key to a successful double-act is affectionate bickering. While obviously not in the class of the aforementioned, Stewart Lee and Richard Herring have the verbal sparring down to a tee. "We make a foolish proposition and take it to its most ridiculous extreme," says Herring. "You don't need a lot of jokes. A lot of our stuff is about the logic of arguments and the way people who know each other far too well argue with each other. In one routine, I actually started to cry." The pair are warming up for their new BBC2 series of This Morning with Richard, Not Judy.
Riverside Studios, Crisp Rd, London, W6 (0181-237 1111) tonight.
