Published monthly by All Points North UK in Leeds, it largely focuses on entertainment, celebrities, film, DVD and music as well as television, comedy and scene news.

Bent's editor is Gordon Hopps; his involvement with the magazine began in the late 1980s when its earliest incarnation, All Points North, was launched.

After a number of years, and to prevent a costly court case, North Of Watford underwent another format change and became Bent.

Features editor Adam 'Beyonce' Lowe conducts celebrity interviews, writes the music reviews and the "Beauty & the Freaks" column.

[citation needed] As a gay lifestyle magazine Bent also carries items on fitness, beauty, travel, health advice, gadgets and fashion but also includes features, interviews with up-and-coming porn stars and illustrated erotic short stories.
