About this show

I’m in love with a man from Dundee. Who lived 100 years before me. He was a poet. He was aware of this. I think he was brilliant. Not everyone agrees. His name? William McGonagall. His life I will now chronicle. Four-time Fringe First winner Gary McNair returns to the Shed with his critically acclaimed, five-star tribute to Scotland’s alternative bard. It’s the incredible true story of 'the world’s worst poet'. Told suitably in almost-rhyming verse. This will be a special stripped-back version of the hit Fringe show, reimagined for Shedinburgh.
