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.

You could accuse Steve Coogan of resting on his laurels, of simply wheeling out the characters that have made him a household name in order to bask in recognition and collect more pounds 10 notes to put under (or over) the mattress. The Man Who Thinks He's It tour may not be big on surprises, but, by all accounts, Coogan dons his comedy personae with the friskiness of a new- born lamb. There was even a stop-watch present during previews, apparently to check that there was a laugh every 30 seconds. Tonight and tomorrow he stops off at his current manor before hurtling on to Cambridge and Leeds at the weekend. Sit back, switch your PC monitors off and enjoy trollop Pauline Calf (accompanied by a six-piece band), stand-up from hell Duncan Thicket, Portuguese singing-sensation Tony Ferrino, Paul Calf, and king of Pringle, Alan Partridge, with his Kate Bush medley. There's even an appearance by love-rat "Steve Coogan" for good post-modern measure.
