I've listened to Jethro over and over again and I still cannot get enough of him. I wished I could have seen him live on the stage

[@joannemayhew8591]

I was lucky enough to see Jethro in the 1990's in Wimbledon theatre

[@ryanhorsfield2423]

I loved this man’s jokes for years. He’s a total star. Best comedian ever

[@adam-d3m5y]

[@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.

[@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.
