[@johnreed8336]

Absolutely brilliant. He deserved a much wider audience. What a sad loss.

[@TheWillHadcroft]

Agree 100%.

[@brianconway100]

Although he wasn’t on tv regularly, according to Jim Davidson in his eulogy speech at Jethro’s funeral (on KZbin), Jethro’s dvds sold more than anyone else’s. Must have sold in the millions. Great comedian.

[@joyceclayton8360]

He will be sadly missed one one northerner ronnie

[@DJMURBENYI]

Classic party

[@richardjames2547]

We will miss this proud Cornishman but always remember so much laughter. Rest well.

Jethro was brilliant. His wry humour, effortless. Your comment however, should have said, 'in my opinion' as I have read elsewhere that others were/are tge best ever.

[@Dallas-Nyberg]

Yep... St Pete will ask him why he is there and Jethro will say... "Well, what happened was........"

Saw him twice and met him once after a show in Bournemouth. I'll never forget him walking out to meet his fans with his pipe in his mouth. Absolute Legend.

Watch Jethro twice at his club in Lewdown, absolute legend and a very funny man, so sadly missed.

[@roycanham7950]

We saw him in Ivybridge about six years ago. It's a small venue which was completely sold out. Jethro came into the bar before the show and went round and spoke to as many people as he could, which luckily included my wife and I. It was like talking to someone you have known for years. We both came out of the show with aching sides through laughing so much. RIP Jethro.

[@marcushinton772]

I was supposed to see Jehtro as a treat for my birthday but sadly covid robbed me of seeing the gentleman of comedy, RIP my friend
