From the seeds of the psychedelic band WE ARE PLEB, Paul Kaye created the menace Dennis Pennis in 1995 to harass, bother, annoy, and terrorize (in the funniest sense) celebrities and other society fold at their expense for the benefit of the rest of us. Paul “killed off” his beloved character in 1997.

Paul said, “I was bored shitless of the whole fucking thing. On Dennis's level, he was becoming a fat, bloated, parody of himself. He was falling into every cliché in the book towards the end of his life. It had to be done. Killing him was important to me. I don't want him round my neck for the rest of my life. All good things come to a short end, y'know? All the things I've loved in my life have never lasted more than a year. That's what makes them so exciting. It seemed right to execute him now. Dennis is very raw and not thought out, and I didn't care who I annoyed. I'm glad Dennis is dead but I will still enjoy irritating all PR rabble.”

Dennis Pennis has harassed Kevin Costner, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Pierce Brosnan, Mel Gibson, Joan Collins, Cher, Hugh Grant, Tom Hanks, Jamie Lee Curtis, Michael Douglas, Richard Gere, Naomi Campbell, Steve Martin, Prince, Helena Christensen, Elton John, and Jeff Goldblum.
