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.What is it? Stand-up comic and star of TV’s Rev, Balamory, and many panel shows, tours his new live set, Miles Jupp is the Chap You’re Thinking Of.
The Independent says: “A master of metaphor, a seigneur of similes … Jupp’s return to the ‘eloquent bumbling’ he honed in his earlier Edinburgh Fringe shows is a welcome one … keen to remind us that the whiff of snobbery and Empire that might linger around him is belied by his political leanings.”
They say: The Telegraph: “From his plummy accent and hapless self-deprecation to his total ignorance of modern youth culture, there has always been an element of Bertie Wooster … [the show] does wander a bit aimlessly at times. But ultimately Jupp’s loquacious wit and despairing view of the frenzied, modern world – he is perhaps more Jeeves than Wooster these days – make for a tour-de-force of very British comedy.”
Chortle: “His rigidity, pride, and self-deprecating awareness of both, plays well not only to the demographic he shares with Waitrose-shopping Radio 4 listeners, but also those who would mock that cushy lifestyle.”
You say: @ShinnyShinyKey: “unbelievably fantastic and such a lovely guy.”
