Comedian Geoffrey Rowe aka Jethro, was a well-known British singer and comedian. He is most recognized for his humor shows and documentaries on video.
Rowe began his career in St Just, Penwith, as a bass singer for the local operatic society. He then went on tour, performing at local taverns and clubs. Jethro gradually improved his stand-up routines.
Was Jethro Racist?
Jethro was heavily criticized for throwing racist comments all his career years as his stand-up routine featured profanity and sexual anecdotes and his distinct Cornish accent and rural attire.
He was a comedian in the tradition of Bernard Manning, Jim Davidson, and Roy Chubby Brown, and he was criticized for including racism, misogyny, and homophobia in his act.
Richard Herring, a comedian, said that Jethro’s success over a lengthy career was remarkable, but added, “Part of my love for him stems from the fact that his work isn’t as bad as that of some of his colleagues. So that’s a bit of a counterintuitive plus.”
