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.

IN THEIR new show, The Mighty Boosh, Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding (below) invite you join them "on a crunchy journey to a light- blue forest" where you will encounter such characters as Jaffoo the Jam Lizard and Electric Terry, the Crinkle-Cut Cowboy. If lovable buffoonery is your bag, then check out their Edinburgh Festival warm-up.

Hen and Chickens, London N1 (0171-704 2001) 9.30pm

Arrive at the interval of New Edna - The Spectacle because the first-half pastiches is a bit of a let-down. After that, the show picks up as Edna gets to do what she does best: humiliate the audience.

Haymarket Theatre Royal, London SW1 (0171-930 8800) 7.30pm
