About Les Dennis
Born in Liverpool, Les came to prominence as a comedian in the 1970s after honing his act on the northern Working Men’s Club circuit and turning pro after a winning set on New Faces. More success in TV comedies followed in the 1980s when he starred in The Russ Abbot Show and The Les Dennis Laughter Show, and formed a double-act with comedy partner Dustin Gee, cut-short by Dustin’s untimely death.
In recent years Les has enjoyed a career as an actor, starring with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the English National Opera and in several plays and musicals in the West End and on tour, as well as a regular role on Coronation Street.
His theatre credits include Twelfth Night (Shakespeare North Playhouse), 42nd Street (Sadlers Wells & Tour), Spring & Port Wine (Bolton Octagon), Only Fools & Horses The Musical (Theatre Royal Haymarket), HMS Pinafore (ENO, Coliseum) and Hairspray (Coliseum).
