In Attitude’s July Issue – available to download and in shops now – our editor Matthew Todd marks his final issue at the helm of the magazine with his list of 30 people, places and things that makes us happy.

Lewis Hancox

Lewis Hancox is a Facebook comedian, YouTuber and trans activist from St Helens, on Merseyside, who you may recognise from Channel 4’s groundbreaking 2011 documentary series My Transgender Summer. He’s currently putting together a series of comedy shorts for Channel 4’s online platform All4.

Last year, he told the Liverpool Echo: “I’m happy to be trans and known as such, but eventually I would just like to be known for my talents as a filmmaker, actor and writer – as me.”

Aside from his comedy, he’s a patron of the National Diversity Awards and LGBT Switchboard London. You can follow his channel at facebook.com/MrLewzer.

You can read Lewis’ feature, along with the other 29 people, things and places that make us happy in Attitude’s July Issue, available to download now from pocketmags.com/attitude and in shops now.
