Steve Punt is a British writer, comedian and actor, most famous for his long-time partnership with Hugh Dennis.

The pair met while at Cambridge University. Punt was a student of St. Catharine's College. They became resident guest comedians on shows presented by Jasper Carrott, including Carrott Confidential and Canned Carrott, and also toured with Carrott as a live support act.

They were then recruited in 1988, along with David Baddiel and Rob Newman to write and perform a satirical sketch and stand-up show called The Mary Whitehouse Experience on BBC Radio 1. After three years, the show had proved such a big hit that it transferred to television. Punt and Dennis went on to perform in their own TV sketch show, The Imaginatively Titled Punt & Dennis Show, and co-wrote and starred in the sitcom Me, You & Him.

Punt has worked more as a writer, script editor and voice-over artist in recent years, though he also currently performs with Dennis in It's Been A Bad Week for BBC Radio 2. Punt & Dennis are also the main presenters of Radio 4's The Now Show.
