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.TAKING IN everything from playing Joe Mangel in Neighbours to hosting The Big Breakfast, Mark Little (right) has had a varied career. Perhaps his greatest love, however, is stand-up comedy. He creates a wonderful rapport with audiences and is not afraid to be labelled with the unfashionable tag of "political". "If it's passe, then OK, call me passe," he says. "One has to be political. Life is political. If someone is brave enough to talk about the politics of the environment on stage, people say `oh God, no'. But if we don't do something about it, we're stuffed. Someone has to put up an alternative."

Jack Dee calls Norman Lovett "one of my favourite comedians". It's not hard to see why. They share of a love of understated gags and deadpan delivery.
