    Hey Paul, I have met Jethro a couple of times at his comedy club. But mostly whilst out driving my work van, I would often see him on the dual carriageway in his rolls-Royce. So I would drive up beside him and challenge him to a drag race, needless to say he was always up for it, and he would start the count down 3,2,1 go, he would then floor it off into the distance, he always won the race, and I would laugh all the way home, bless him.

    My wife & I went to see Jethro in the 90's in the White Rock Theatre in Hastings. Absolutely brilliant, we came out of there aching from the laughter. After the show we made our way out and to the side of the theatre where Jethro was loading up his trailer with his PA kit, he was pulling it with a range rover. We had a quick chat to him, he asked us if we had enjoyed the show, which of course we did. Wonderful night, great memories and it was back in the days when you could tell jokes without fear of someone taking the hump.

    I went to see Jethro in Worcester in the 90's. Fantastic show. When it finished there was a mad rush to the door so I just sat there until the rush was over. He appeared in front of the stage and a handful of folk went to have a chat. I joined them. Pint in hand, he spoke to all of us in turn, telling jokes and asking us about ourselves as well as answering questions about him. A nicer, more genuine, guy you could never meet. He was in Malvern years later and a friend went to see him. I told him to hang back and he might appear. Sure enough he did and my friend was so chuffed to meet him and chat, just as I had done. He was just as impressed with his unassuming attitude as I. RIP Jethro. You will live on in all of us that saw you live or on the screen.

    We saw him some years ago at the Swan theatre High Wycombe, if I remember correctly. Commuted over from Hertfordshire. Well worth the trip. Laughed so much and carried on when going home. Brilliant show. So sad when he left us. 1000 times better than most modern comedians.

    What happen was, I saw Jethro in the Derogate Theatre Northampton some years ago. I was introduced to Jethro by the owner of a helicopter company I use to worked for, he lent me a tape Jethro had produced. I listened to it in the car on the way home, I damn well nearly crashed several times as I was laughing so much and had tears in my eyes. RIP Jethro "I come home from the pub pissed as a matress...".

    Some years ago, by chance a comedian was performing in a local theatre and I spontaneously wandered in to find myself watching Jethro. Such a character, master of old school edgy humour and a glowing stage presence. He made an impression on me and I was saddened to hear of his death during the pandemic. Taken too soon 🌹

    I'm Cornish, so Jethro was huge in our house. Saw him perform at the Penventon Hotel in Redruth in the early '80s. It was a tough crowd, as a lot of the audience were from "up country" and he wasn't well known to them. However, within a few gags he had everyone howling. R.I.P. Jethro. Proper job.
