Who is Jethro?

Jethro is the stage name of Cornish stand-up comedian Geoffrey J Rowe, based in Lewdown in Devon. Rowe was born in 1948 in St Buryan, a village in west Cornwall.

After leaving school, Rowe was apprenticed as a carpenter and then worked as a timber man in a tin mine. At the age of eighteen he joined the St. Just and District Operatic Society and, in addition to his bass voice, locals found he had a talent for making an audience laugh. He began visiting the pubs of Cornwall to sing and joke and was quickly hailed as Cornwall's top comic.
