Jethro – ‘Too Late to Grow Up’

Stand-up comedy from the world’s funniest Cornishman

Jethro is the stage name of British stand-up comedian Geoff Rowe, based in Cornwall. Rowe was born in 1948 in St Buryan, a small village in west Cornwall. At eighteen he joined the St. Just and District Operatic Society and, in addition to his bass voice, locals found he had a talent to make an audience laugh. He began visiting the pubs of Cornwall to sing and joke and was quickly hailed as Cornwall’s top comic.

After 35 years in the business, Jethro still packs theatres up and down the country, and is still as mischievous as he was as a child. Jethro… Please don’t ever grow up, the world would lose one of the most unique comedy legends ever. If you want to laugh until it hurts, look no further than here, this is the show for you!!

TICKETS: Adults £18.00, Friends/students £17.50 – For Adults Only

It is a highly entertaining concert which has been enthusiastically and warmly received throughout the world.

The fully self-contained concert includes all their famous hits, plus many of their original album recordings, B-sides and a selection of other collector and well known favourites.
