No funny business: Jongleurs seeks new investors
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.Jongleurs, the comedy venue group that brought through stand-up acts such as Eddie Izzard and Peter Kay, is to go public as it looks to convince the City that after a torrid few years, its expansion plans are no joke. The group confirmed yesterday it was seeking to raise funds in a pre-initial public offering as it looks to resurrect the company's fortunes after regaining control of the brand two years ago.
The company's adviser, Webb Capital, is currently sounding out several private investors to raise £500,000 initially before an IPO within 19 months. Chief executive and founder Maria Kempinska said: "We need to work with someone who understands our potential."
