Synopsis
Elvis McGonagall is the sole resident of the Graceland Caravan Park somewhere near Dundee where he scribbles verse whilst drinking scotch and listening to Johnny Cash. Elvis is the 2006 World Slam Champion, the compere of the notorious Blue Suede Sporran Club and appears regularly on the UK’s alternative entertainment circuit: literary/music festivals, comedy clubs, dodgy dives and even the BBC (“Saturday Live”, “The Culture Show”, “The One Show” etc).
Garnering rave reviews from the likes of The Scotsman and The Guardian for his Edinburgh Fringe Festival show of anarchic stand-up comic verse (aka “One Man And His Doggerel”), he can now be experienced live in Hong Kong where in a previous incarnation he was a flash harry lawyer and a co-founder of the Not So Loud Theatre Company.
“….righteous ire, directed at very deserving targets….McGonagall’s verses are shot through with a moral umbrage and rhetorical power” (****The Guardian)
“….McGonagall combines anger, polish and carefully crafted verse in a way which recalls John Cooper Clarke in his prime. If the word ‘poetry’ is putting you off, get over it” (****The Scotsman)
