Bob Gandey
Robert Gandey (1894–1952) was a British showman who founded Gandey's Circus, which continues to perform in Britain. His parents were also showmen and he followed them into the trade, training performing ponies from the age of nine. Gandey had become a performer in the Buffalo Bill Wild West show by the age of 15 and by 1918 operated his own circus tent. From 1943 he began touring Gandey's Circus as an independent big-top show.
