Geoffrey McIntyre Rowe (8 March 1948 – 14 December 2021), known by his stage name Jethro, was a Cornish stand-up comedian and singer from the United Kingdom.
[4][1][5][3] After his popularity grew in Cornwall and Devon through the 1970s and 1980s, Rowe made his first national television performance in 1990 on the Des O'Connor Show, making several subsequent appearances.
[4][5] His best known routine was "This Train Don't Stop Camborne Wednesdays", partly because it was one of the few that could be performed in polite society, and therefore was aired more on the television.
[3] In February 2020, Rowe announced that he was retiring from public performances at the end of the year; the final shows were later postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
[5] Jethro's standup act made use of his strong Cornish accent and rural style of dress, with a "no-holds barred, foul-mouthed and sexually explicit routine".
[3] Rowe left an estate worth £3.3 million in his will, with most bequeathed to Barriball, including his home near Okehampton, another property in nearby Lifton, plus £250,000 in cash.
