So lovely to hear Jethro just chatting. The world of comedy is a much poorer place without him in it. Comedy is, as he says, a very personal thing, & whenever I listen to or watch Jethro I always end up with tears running down my face, my sides aching ~ & a few things a tad more moist than they ought to be.❤❤❤

When I was living just outside Penzance in Gulval, I had his brother Don Rowe come and clean my chimney. He spent a whole hour drinking coffee and telling jokes while leaning on our fireplace. He was as funny as Jethro. What a great Cornish family. RIP Jethro, you will be sorely missed by us all, especially here in Cornwall.

I can't agree with Gwynford Dafyyd enough. As for this nut Ray Turner below.. ignore his comments he is obviously obsessed with the celebrity culture. Immediately he comes across as Anti Christian and yet is pro-abnormality. He clearly lacks education as he thinks the bible was written by asians 2000 yrs ago he might either means it was written then or just after by the at that time mostly jewish converts to christianity or he might instead mean the quoran which was made up by one man in the in the early 7th century AD. Comedy in the UK is becoming very anti WASP and the media not only allows this but encourages it. Recently so called celebs particularly comedians mostly and most certainly those in chat or panel type shows are apparently trying to brainwash us all. They are mostly vocally anti brexit, which was decided by a majority vote, and for some reason seem obsessed with US president Trump. They are it seems staunchly anti-christian and love to belittle british culture when possible. They oppose anyone talking common sense politically being quick to label them racist and put them down where andn whenever possible. All this has become very apparent with most of the comedians under 40 being more evident the younger and therfore more ignorant they are. You see them on their way up doing ok then suddenly it seems as their careers become both prominent and more sucessful their material changes to fall in line with the celebrity culture.. now why might that be... I wonder (not) If you want watch their latest stuff then watch some of their early stuff and the change becomes blatently apparent. Watch them have a laugh by all means but do not take a word they say as being truthful unless you have checked it and do not allow their repeated propaganda to influence your thoughts and beliefs.

I used to work summer season behind the bar in holiday camps between Looe and Polperro. Nightly entertainment was different, but what was there one Tuesday was there the next, and the next etc. throughout the season. This is where I first saw Jethro and we are talking 1973-1976. He made my stomach hurt with laughter then, he still does today. Brilliant comedian.

I didn’t know who Jethro was. I was lying in hospital and the fella in the bed opposite was going home he passed my a tape and said listen to the fella he’ll cheer you up. I put the headphones on and within a minute I was roaring with laughter and it carried on for a few minutes the nurse came over took the headphones off took the tape off me and said “you’ll end up falling out of bed you’re not getting this back until you’re ready for home. The best five minutes of laughter I’ve ever had. I still watch his dvd’s very very funny man. Thank you for the laughter.
