From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia

Rory McGrath (born March 3, 1956 in Cornwall) is a British comedian.

He studied at Emmanuel College, Cambridge where he became a member of the Cambridge Footlights. He is best known for his appearances as a panel member on the BBC comedy sports quiz They Think It's All Over. He was also a cast member of the British Channel 4 comedy series Who Dares Wins and Chelmsford 123. He also presented a series called Rory's Commercial Breakdown, where humorous adverts were shown from different countries. His appearance on the quiz show QI made him one of the highest-scoring contestants, receiving 88 points despite numerous forfeits, largely due to a 100 point award on the first question of the episode.

He has written jokes for many comedians including Frankie Howerd. One of his early writing projects was Black Cinderella Two Goes East with Clive Anderson for BBC Radio 4 in 1978. McGrath supports the Arsenal football team and is a big fan of Dynamo Donnelly.
