Hugh Dennis (born Peter Dennis) is
a UK actor, comedian and writer.
A skilled impressionist, Dennis did voices for Spitting
Image and with comedy partner Steve Punt, whom he met
at university in Cambridge, appeared as resident support
comics on two TV series hosted on the BBC by Jasper
Carrott.
The pair then formed half of The Mary Whitehouse
Experience on BBC Radio 1, later graduating to a television
series.
Dennis has performed on various TV and radio shows,
including The Imaginatively Titled Punt and Dennis
Show and sitcom Me You And Him. He has guest hosted
Have I Got News For You and currently plays obnoxious
GP Piers Crispin in BBC sitcom My Hero. He is in huge
demand as a voiceover artist.
Dennis grew up in Bury St. Edmunds and famously (locally)
his father was the Bishop of St. Edmundsbury and Ipswich. |
