Spanning this year’s biggest TV, social media and podcast moments, the cover of the 600th edition stars four masters of comedy from 2022: Munya Chawawa, Saoirse-Monica Jackson (Derry Girls), Ed Gamble (Off Menu) and Susan Wokoma (Cheaters, Enola Holmes), who also sit down with Stylist for interviews.

Stylist, Editor-In-Chief Lisa Smosarski said, “this year it felt even more important to end 2022 on a high. We couldn’t think of a more fitting takeover to mark our 600th birthday than to challenge our favourite funny people to spread some laugh-out-loud cheer throughout the pages of our magazine at a time when lots of us need it more than ever.

“When we say they made the issue – we absolutely mean it. We loved how much our comedians got stuck into their editorial roles. From Rylan deep-diving nose-first into fragrance and sharing his wealth of notes knowledge for our beauty story to Jamie Demetriou’s countless artistic suggestions for directing the fashion shoot to Julia Davis (one half of agony aunt duo Joan and Jericha) perfecting her copy and making changes right up until press day. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure there were laughs all round – and the result is very special.”
