Hugh Dennis
Biography
Comedian who got his big break as a regular cast member on Carrott Confidential in the late 80s. Further fame came as one-quarter of The Mary Whitehouse Experience, and he has continued to make topical satire on television and radio ever since as well as acting in sitcoms including My Hero and Outnumbered.
Trivia
His actual first name is Peter but Equity already had a Peter Dennis on their books, so he took to using his middle name instead. Which is Hugh, obviously.
He has been the regular comedy partner of Steve Punt since the mid-1980s, with credits including Canned Carrott, The Mary Whitehouse Experience and The Now Show. They also starred (along with Nick Hancock) in a 1992 ITV comedy series entitled 'Me, You and Him', which unfortunately proved neither very funny nor very successful.
