Hugh Dennis (born Peter Dennis, 1962) 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.
