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.

FORMER LEVEL 42 frontman Mark King (right), is making a comeback with his first solo tour. In their Eighties heyday, Level 42 were responsible for some stunning examples of MOR funk such as "Something About You", "Lessons in Love" and "Love Games". Expect a familiar blend of jazz-funk and loverman soul on this solo excursion.

LIKE A secret agent in nylon pants, Lenny Beige's cabaret is a mixture of knife-edge comedy and an overblown ego. His show is packed with one- liners, often at the expense of the audience, and celebrity guests such as Lily Savage, Barbara Windsor and Les Dennis. Watch out for his imminent bid to be Mayor of London; his manifesto includes a promise to provide first-class carriages on the Underground.
Criterion Theatre, London W1 (0171-369 1737) to 4 Dec
