The Independent Recommends: Comedy
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.ARMANDO IANNUCCI (right) has made his name with some of the most finely-crafted comedy money can buy in I'm Alan Partridge and Friday Night Armistice. His live show, Out of His Box, is deliberately much looser. He takes questions and discusses such hot political issues as why Gerry Adams looks like Moira Stuart. "There is a spontaneity and flexibility about it," he says. "I can wander off - literally. I have a radio mike, and I've followed people into the toilets and carried on the dialogue from the gents." Tonight, he appears in the Newcastle Comedy Festival.
