Gee, and all this time I thought the San Francisco group called "The Jesters" were original. Now I see they just copied these dudes.

The group in this clip is one of several, worldwide, that called themselves "The Jesters." The Jesters in San Francisco were given the name by announcer/ producer David Fowler, who encouraged them to form a trio to sing with Royal Society Jazz Orchestra. Fowler originally called them the "Royal Jesters," and they did not fashion themselves after the group in this clip. And their sponsor was Peps-O-Lux.

Thanks for the paragraph, but everyone I've shown this clip to agrees that they were VERY VERY similar, from the costumes to the patter to the choice of songs. Doesn't mean they weren't fun. Just derivative.

These must be members of the elite Royal Order of Jesters, a famous organization of phine men of mirth. Wonderful video clip.

I meant the BRITISH PATHE PREVIEW ONLY title.

@laughingsal Unfortunately the name of this early British Pathe production, or soundie (early music video) was: THE JESTERS -- and furlight couldn't have provided anymore of a title to it.
