COMEDIAN Rory McGrath tried his hand at bowling when he visited a Bolton club to feature in his TV show.

The bushy-haired comic is touring the country with Paddy McGuinness to examine strange but quintessentially British sports for their Five show, Rory and Paddy’s Great British Adventure.

The focus turned to Paddy’s hometown on Friday when Rory visited Hollywood Road Bowling Club in Doffcocker.

Sporting an “I Love Bolton” T-Shirt, he enjoyed a pint as club member Kevan Latham showed him the ropes.

A crowd of bowlers watched as Mr Latham taught Rory how to play, and they cheered as he rolled one close to the jack.
