My Take

Hugh Dennis represents a strain of British comedy I find endlessly reassuring: Cambridge-educated intelligence worn lightly and deployed weekly rather than hoarded. Appearing on every episode of Mock the Week's original run from 2005 to 2022 is a staggering feat of comic stamina, seventeen years of turning the news into laughs on demand. Add his decades-long partnership with Steve Punt, plus acting and writing, and you get a craftsman who treats comedy as a trade to be practiced, not a lottery to be won. The boy from Kettering became part of the backbone of British humour, and I suspect consistency, not flash, is his real genius.

Overview
