About this listen

Remember that time an Essex Council odd job man rode the social media boom to become a minor internet superstar? No? Well, Kunt does, because it was him! In this audiobook version of i, Kunt, Kunt from Kunt and the Gang recounts in his own words the unique story of how he went from bedroom studio bod to award-winning comedy phenomenon, set against the backdrop of the good old days of social media, before the thought police took it over.

Between 2003 and 2016 Kunt and the Gang got over three million YouTube views, despite having their channel shut down; scored two of the least appropriately titled top 75 UK hit singles of all time; were ostracized by the Edinburgh comedy community over a misjudged advertising campaign involving stickers of crudely drawn penises; and organised the world's first ever dirty protest where literally tens of people tweeted jpegs of their faecal excrement to evil entertainment bigwig Simon Cowell. Oh, and got banned from Butlins.

i, Kunt is an extraordinary tale about trying to stay true to your principles whilst dressed head to toe in hi vis, pretending to cry and masturbate.

Best thing on audible.

This is on a par with the Alan Partridge books as the best book on Audible. Laugh out loud funny road tales from Britain's best loved, and Yewtree's most feared Minor Internet celebrity.

Much Needed Comic Relief From A Maverick

As a long time fan of KATG, this was a very interesting read - as well as hilarious to hear all the stories of the crazy things which happened. The funniest audio book I've ever read, and the fact it's narrated by Kunt adds a lot too - and you also get regular snippets from all his songs. A very easy listen and a great natural delivery from Kunt. Would thoroughly recommend to anyone with an interest in alternative comedy who isn't easily offended :)

He’s not a k*** he’s a very naughty boy!

Having had K*** play at my 40th birthday and met him at various gigs I already knew he was a top bloke but it was great to read / listen to how it had all started and the highs and lows of his brief fame. Loved every gig and reading about how some people just didn’t get it and took offence. If you’re not easily offended and love a laugh find out his stuff and give it a try :)

Absolutely Hilarious

I’d never heard of this Kunt before but the book title stood out and i took a punt. Glad I did as it was brilliant. I’ll now go and listen to his albums.

More charming than the title would suggest

Growing up in the same part of the world at the same time (even seeing some of his earlier bands) always drew me to him, and this reading is a delight, although probably a bit "too alternative" for many, in case the title didn't give that away.

Tales of the road, growing up in the pre-internet, post Depeche Mode Basildon through to a fairly unique level of fame and success never forgetting the tone of material that got him there or the audience it would attract makes this unmissable.

Equally charming and obscene

Hurry up and and read it before he gets famous!

Without doubt the best audiobook I've had from Audible and my favourite book overall for a long time. I discovered KATG late, in 2015 after seeing a poster for a show in Winchester. Just looking at the poster, for the Knt'll Fix It Tour, made me laugh, so I looked them up on Spotify and have been a fan ever since.

Like his 14 album catalogue, this book is brilliantly written and performed, clever, and genuinely funny. Lots of great tales of early experiences with pre KATG bands, back stories of songs, albums, videos, tours, failures, successes... everything you could want to know.

I don't want to quote any part of the book or anecdote etc here because it's all far better when you hear it from the K's mouth.

If you're reading this, wondering whether to download, just do it, don't hesitate.

Brilliant.

What a kunt

Swearing IS big and clever, and so is saying, or in his case, singing the unsayable. The only thing Kunt doesn’t succeed in doing in this book is entirely hiding the intelligent and talented man that lies behind the disguise.

Very clever and very funny Mr K!

This particular Guardian reader has been an avid fan of Mr K and his gang since their release of the Nick Clegg song, which so eloquently summarised the UK political situation at the time. I was very entertained by this account of the history and background of the act, and will definitely listen to this again next time I have a long car journey as I binge-listened to this far too fast. Although Mr K's humour is to be as outrageously rude and ridiculous as possible, the band frequently end up being the only common sense voices in the media, such as their commentary on the various royal events that us Brits have been forced to endure recently. Now that the band are no longer touring, I'm hoping Mr K is considering a political career, as he would clearly be a smarter, kinder and less corrupt option than any we have currently. Mr K for PM please!!
