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.AS A RULE, comic poetry - like performance art or avant-garde mime - is one of those artforms designed to fill mainstream audiences with dread and send them running for the cover of the nearest bar. John Hegley (right) is an exception, however. This is borne out by the fact that he came second to Spike Milligan in a recent BBC poll for the nation's favourite comic poem and - wait for it - fourth in a R4 survey to find the next Poet Laureate. Wallow in his hymns of praise to glasses and Luton Town FC.
