Steve Punt

Steve Punt is a British writer, comedian and actor, most famous for his long-time partnership with Hugh Dennis.

The pair met while at Cambridge University. Punt was a student of St. Catharine's College. They became resident guest comedians on shows presented by Jasper Carrott, including Carrott Confidential and Canned Carrot.

They were then recruited in 1988, along with David Baddiel and Rob Newman to write and perform a satirical sketch and stand-up show called The Mary Whitehouse Experience on BBC Radio 1. After three years, the show had proved such a big hit that it transferred to television. Punt and Dennis went on to perform in their own TV sketch show, and co-wrote and starred in the sitcom Me, You & Him.

Punt has worked more as a writer, script editor and voice-over artist in recent years, though he also currently performs with Dennis in It's Been A Bad Week for BBC Radio 2.
