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.

Ben (Gone with Noakes) Miller and partner, Alexander Armstrong, have strung together a surprisingly imaginative and fluid series of sketches which revel in a strong sense of the absurd. What the material lacks in consistency is compensated for by the pair's highly choreographed physical routines and their musical talents, notably a breathless Sixties car chase and some devilish whistling. The show's discovery is their Scandic singing duo, Norway's Wayne and Garth if you will, with their heavily accented, cod MOR lyrics: 'Oh Birgit / Listen to which I say / 'Oh my God, we're happy as rock 'n' roll.' ' MTV, are you listening?

Assembly Rooms (venue 3), 54 George St (031-226 2428). 6pm. To 3 Sept
