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 SHORTLIST for the 1993 Perrier Pick of the Fringe Award for best comedy reads as follows: rejuvenated comic Donna McPhail at the Gilded Balloon (8.30pm); abrasive, hi-energy Scots stand-up Parrot, Stepping Stones (9.15pm); Johnny Meres for his sweet and soulful story of the decline of a child star in My Booze Hell at Stepping Stones (8pm); all-singing, all-dancing Canadian cabaret act, Corky and the Juice Pigs, Music Box (11.15pm); Phil Kaye for his comic shenanigans with hair, Gilded Balloon (8.45pm); outstandingly slick American impro-man (and co-star of Whose Line Is It Anyway?) Greg Proops, Assembly Rooms (12 midnight), and the much-fancied elastic-bodied Lee Evans, Assembly Rooms (11pm). The winner will be announced at midnight on Saturday.
