Kettering Comic Hugh Dennis
Posted by Doug in Travel at 12:27 pm Hugh Dennis is a well known English comedian, writer, actor and impressionist. He also has worked for voice over artist. He was born in Kettering, Northhamptonshire, England in 1962. His father was John Dennis, the Bishop of Saint Edmundsbury and Ipswich. He was raised in north England and attended the University of Cambridge where he studied geography. He also attended the boys school in Hampstead, University College School. He met his comedy partner Steve Punt while in school and the boys began their early comedy routines and basic comedic partnership at that time. While in school he was a member of the Cambridge Footlights.
Tourists staying in a Kettering hotel may not be visiting city specifically to attend a comedy show, but if the team happens to be in town you can certainly bet that attending the show will be a high priority. Dennis currently lives with his family in Chichester, a city in West Sussex, England. He married his wife Catherine in 1996 and has two children, a son and a daughter. In addition to his other studies, Dennis was recently the recipient of an honorary fellowship from the University of Northampton.
Dennis is primarily known for his work with Punt, their partnership is called simply Punt and Dennis, though he has also performed successful solo shows. He has performed on various television and radio shows including doing voice work for Spitting Image. He appears regularly as a panelist for Mock the Week. He is an extremely skilled impressionist, and this carries over well into radio performances. His early life as the son of a bishop may have contributed to some of Dennis’s comedic style, and interestingly enough it is extremely common for children of religious figures such as pastors, priests and bishops to become class clowns and develop a comedic personality.
