Kunt and the Gang is a British dark musical comedy project from Basildon, Essex. Despite the "and the Gang" in the stage name (a reference to the American funk band Kool & the Gang), the act comprises a single performer: Wayne Clements, a comedian and singer-songwriter.

Clements is also known for founding the spin-off project the Kunts, who have had four top-twenty hits in the UK Singles Chart including the controversial track "Boris Johnson Is a Fucking Cunt" and its follow-up "Boris Johnson Is Still a Fucking Cunt", which reached number five for Christmas 2020 and 2021 respectively. These were followed by "Prince Andrew Is a Sweaty Nonce" (no. 20) and "Fuck the Tories" (no. 7). A fifth hit, "Scrap the Monarchy" was released as "the Krown Jewelz" and reached number nine.

Kunt and the Gang has also released music under the pseudonym of his hand puppet sidekick, Little Kunt, and the moniker of Kunt and the Gang Presents (for Shannon Matthews: The Musical, a comedy musical based on the faked kidnapping of Yorkshire girl Shannon Matthews).

Kunt and the Gang rose to prominence making crude synthpop songs related to sexual intercourse and controversial public figures, and was initially active from 2003 to 2016. In 2010, Clements first achieved chart success when his single "Use My Arsehole as a Cunt (The Nick Clegg Story)" reached number No. 66 in the UK Singles Chart at Christmas time. The following year, another single, "Fucksticks (Royal Wedding Souvenir Version)", also entered the same chart, this time at number No. 63.

He released ten studio albums before retiring his main act in 2016, and published an autobiography, iKunt, in December 2018.
