Hugh’s dissertation was titled “The Spatial Distribution of Elementary Education in 19th-century Wakefield”. He joined the Footlights, where he met Steve Punt and club president Nick Hancock. The three collaborated on a number of projects besides the annual revue.
In a 2016 interview with ITV’s This Morning program, Hugh said that Britain’s domestic intelligence service, MI5 approached him whilst at Cambridge University and attended a preliminary interview. However, the comedian eventually decided that he did not want to take the matter any further, particularly because during the interview, he was told that the job would require him to “do people over.”
He graduated with a first ( British undergraduate degree classification) and worked for Unilever for six years in the marketing department. At the same time, he performed comedy with Punt at venues including The Comedy Store in London at weekends. At Unilever, Hugh became a brand manager of Lynx deodorant. However, his time there came to an end after he and Punt had their BBC Radio 1 show,’ The Mary Whitehouse Experience’ commissioned for BBC Two (alongside David Baddiel & Rob Newman).
Hugh was put on sabbatical by Unilever because rehearsals for the show were to take place on a weekday. However, he never returned to the company and instead, he chose to pursue comedy full-time following the success of the show. The comedian uses his middle name as his stage name because the actor Peter Dennis was already a member of the performing arts union Equity.
