Editing William McGonagall (section)

===In comedy and theatre===
* ''The Real McGonagall, ''by playwright Willy Holtzman, has been produced in New York and Portland, Maine.
* The memory of McGonagall was resurrected by comedian [[Spike Milligan]]. A character called McGoonagall frequently appears in ''[[The Goon Show]]'', alternately played by Milligan and [[Peter Sellers]]. Milligan also occasionally gave readings of McGonagall's verse. McGoonagall often introduces himself as "William McGoonagall, Poet, Tragedian and Twit".
* An episode of ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' featured a McGonagall-esque poet called Ewan McTeagle,<ref>{{cite web |author=As listed |url=http://orangecow.org/pythonet/sketches/mcteagle.htm |title=The Poet McTeagle |publisher=Orangecow.org |access-date=3 July 2009 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090703160712/http://orangecow.org/pythonet/sketches/mcteagle.htm |archive-date=3 July 2009}}</ref> whose poems were actually [[prose]] requests for money.
* In 2018 and early 2019, a musical comedy play titled ''McGonagall's Chronicles (Which Will Be Remembered for a Very Long Time)'' was toured in Scotland, retelling the story of the poet in "almost rhyme". It was directed by Joe Douglas and written by Gary McNair; McNair appeared in the lead role, with live musical support from Brian James O'Sullivan and from Simon Liddell, who composed the show's songs.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.traverse.co.uk/whats-on/event-detail/1525/mcgonagalls-chronicles-(which-will-be-remembered-for-a-very-long-time).aspx|title=McGonagall's Chronicles (Which Will Be Remembered for a Very Long Time)|publisher=Traverse Theatre|access-date=29 March 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190329230606/https://www.traverse.co.uk/whats-on/event-detail/1525/mcgonagalls-chronicles-(which-will-be-remembered-for-a-very-long-time).aspx|archive-date=29 March 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref>
