Elvis McGonagall

Stand-up poet, comedian and broadcaster, armchair revolutionary
and walking shortbread tin Elvis McGonagall resides at the Graceland
Caravan Park just outside Brigadoon where he scribbles satirical verse
while drinking malt whisky and istening to Johnny Cash.

Two series of his sitcom "Elvis McGonagall Takes a Look on the Bright
Side" have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4, where he appears regularly
as well as popping up now and then on the telly.

Elvis is the 2006 World Slam champion, the compère of the Blue Suede
Sporran Club and performs at literary and music festivals, comedy and
cabaret clubs, pubs and dodgy dives up and down the country and abroad.

Elvis also gigs with his band The Resurrectors, "an unholy marriage of
whisky-soaked, radical, stand-up poetry and Caledonian punkabilly
rock ’n’ roll”. The band’s debut album "Gie’ It Laldy!" and the EP “Burstin’
Oot In Fairy Lights” are available on Bar-Ox Records. And he occasionally
moonlights as Chairman Wow, chief word-slinger and vocalist with funk
collective The People’s Republic of Groove.

A deftly witty wordsmith, sharp and subversive but not afraid to be plain
daft, Elvis has been kicking down the rotting doors of power since 2003.
And look at the state of the world now. So that’s 20+ years of ruined
footwear and not the slightest hint of a glorious revolution to show for it.
