Edinburgh Festival Days 6 & 7: Anthony Morgan Stands Alone
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.When Anthony Morgan arrived in Edinburgh, he can have had no idea how prophetically titled his show was. There are few more distressing moments for a comedian than playing a 300-seater venue to 11 people. 'We've arrived from Australia, no one's heard of us, and they've all come.' A lesser performer might have referred to the pathetic huddle of an audience in passing and then strode manfully on with his set. Morgan, however, chose to base the entire show around the dire lack of punters, abandoning stage and microphone to come among us. He deserves a bigger audience.
Assembly at the Meadows, Middle Meadow Walk (venue 116), 031-229 9281. 6pm. To 5 Sept (not 25 Aug, not 1 Sept).
