Kunt and the Gang’s dark comedy songs had slowly racked up millions of listens over 20 years before the self-proclaimed ‘minor internet hit singer’ suddenly became best known for a string of Top 20 sweary punk protest songs about the Royal Family and Conservative government.This 25th Anniversary tour sees Kunt and the Gang returning to celebrate where it all began – synthpop, swearing, and celebrity paedos. Expect to come away humming something that will get you a disciplinary at work the next day. Not for the easily offended.

Kunt and the Gang is a one-man dark comedy music act formed in 2003 in Basildon, Essex, comprising self-proclaimed ‘minor internet hit singer’ Kunt and occasionally his puppet parasitic twin effigy, Little Kunt. The act has been described by Charlie Brooker as “Life-affirmingly puerile,” and by Stewart Lee as “Fucking hilarious”.
Kunt and the Gang first gained a following online by posting comedy songs and videos onto early social media platforms MySpace and YouTube, with songs often touching on taboo subjects, such as sexual fantasies and serial killers. The debut album I Have A Little Wank And I Have A Little Cry won NME’s 2005 Album Title Of The Year. This would be their last mention in the NME until Christmas 2020.
Meanwhile, Kunt and the Gang started playing live in pubs and small independent music venues, which eventually led to full UK tours and sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and Adelaide and Melbourne Festivals. A ban from Butlins resorts followed, after complaints about a 2008 appearance at dance festival The Big Reunion.
In 2009 Kunt and the Gang wrote Shannon Matthews: The Musical, a comedy musical based on the events surrounding the fake disappearance and search for the missing Yorkshire schoolgirl. With no funding or support to produce the show, it was recorded and released as an audio CD in 2010. Following an unexpected revival as a sell-out stage show at 2022’s Edinburgh Fringe, it was subsequently made into a film in 2024, Shannon Matthews: The Musical… The Movie.
