Punt and Dennis are a comedy double act consisting of Steve Punt and Hugh Dennis.

They shot to public attention as one half of The Mary Whitehouse Experience, a sketch and monologue show on BBC Radio 1 which then transferred to television.

However, whilst the other half of the team, Rob Newman and David Baddiel went on to play the largest comedy gig ever at Wembley Arena, the less glamorous Punt and Dennis were not invited to the ball. Their own TV series, The Imaginatively Titled Punt and Dennis Show, was never as popular as The Mary Whitehouse Experience^{[citation needed]}, though it got higher audiences and a better slot than the other pairing's spin-off project Newman and Baddiel in Pieces, which led to their acrimonious separation as a partnership of Newman and Baddiel.^{[citation needed]}

Punt and Dennis worked on Jasper Carrott's shows for many years, where they performed short sketches. They also supported him on tour.

In 1992 they went on the road themselves and toured the UK with a show called 'Punt And Dennis - The Milky Milky Tour'. The name of the show was inspired by a character called Mr Strange that Hugh Dennis played in the Mary Whitehouse Experience. The Milky Milky tour was filmed live on stage at Bristol's Hippodrome Theatre in 1992 and released on VHS Video.

They currently have a successful and long running satirical series called The Now Show running on BBC Radio 4 as well as a weekly round-up show on Radio 2, It's Been a Bad Week and writing radio sitcom The Party Line.

Since then, Punt and Dennis have been recently working in front and behind the scenes of the BBC satirical panel show; Mock The Week. Punt was a writer behind the scenes, meanwhile Dennis was a regular alongside Scottish comedian, Frankie Boyle.

In 2007 they also embarked on a new UK tour of their comedy called Stuff and Nonsense, in the promotional material of which they termed themselves "The Kings Of Satire."
