Group of comedians who first appeared together in a *music-hall show of 1932, called Crazy Week, and who continued as a team until 1962. The Gang was made up of three double acts: Bud Flanagan (1896–1968) and Chesney Allen (1894–1982); Jimmy Nervo (1890–1975) and Teddy Knox (1896–1974); Charlie Naughton (1887–1976) and Jimmy Gold (1886–1967). Chesney retired in 1946, and from 1956 'Monsewer' Eddie Gray (1897–1969) was a member.
