The 100-page special celebrates British comedy and features exclusive interviews with the likes of Jimmy Carr, Al Murray, Nish Kumar, Richard Blackwood, Jenny Éclair, and Guz Khan, alongside biographies, reviews, and gag roundups.

Chris Longridge, Editor of Digital Spy, commented: “I’m so proud that after providing the best entertainment news and comment on the internet for 25 years, Digital Spy is finally hitting the newsstands IRL. Comedy is a theme that runs through everything we cover, and with British stand-up never having been in better health, we’re excited to celebrate the best of it in print.

From our cover star Peter Kay, the nation’s favourite, to a wealth of interviews and profiles of legendary stand-ups, we lift the lid on everything British comedy is made of.”

Digital Spy’s British Comedy Legends is part of the Living Legends series, produced by Hearst UK’s Entertainment Portfolio.

Priced at £7.99, the magazine is on sale now and is available to buy from UK newsstands and online.
