Hugh DennisVersatile British Comedian, Actor and Presenter

Hugh Dennis provides an exceptional blend of sharp wit and professional polish, having evolved from a Unilever brand manager into one of Britain's most recognisable comedic talents. He first achieved national prominence as one half of the double act Punt and Dennis and through the seminal sketch programme The Mary Whitehouse Experience. A mainstay of British television for decades, he served as a permanent panellist across the entire seventeen-year run of the satirical show Mock the Week and starred as the patriarch in the celebrated semi-improvised sitcom Outnumbered. His career is notable for its remarkable breadth, spanning from early voice work on Spitting Image to guest appearances on QI and Would I Lie to You?. Beyond comedy, his acting credits include roles in Fleabag, Not Going Out, and even a cinematic turn as a scientist in the James Bond film No Time to Die. Recently, he has further demonstrated his versatility by presenting the community archaeology series The Great British Dig and returning to the role of Pete Brockman for the 2024 return of Outnumbered. Through his work on BBC Radio 4’s The Now Show and his extensive portfolio of television hosting, Hugh remains at the forefront of the UK entertainment industry. He is frequently booked for his intelligence, quick-thinking improvisation skills, and his ability to engage diverse audiences with a sophisticated yet accessible delivery style. On stage, Hugh Dennis is best known for talks on Comedy, Hosting and Entertainment. Audiences leave with a clear, practical view of the subject rather than a generic overview — every keynote is shaped around the brief and the room.
