Jethro is the stage name of English 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. ==Television== Rowe made his TV debut on the Westward Television programme ‘Treasure Hunt’ playing a pirate co-host. In addition to his appearances on stage and video, Jethro has made a record nine appearances on TV shows hosted by Des O'Connor. His first appearance was on the ''Des O’Connor Tonight'' show in 1990, followed by a return for the Christmas Eve show later that year - the first time a comedian had been invited back during one series. He also appeared five times on Jim Davidson’s ''Generation Game'' show, twice giving a demonstration of how to make a Cornish pasty. Jethro was also involved in one of the show’s longest sequences of out-takes, removed due to his and Davidson's uncontrolled fits of laughter but later shown separately; it involved the story of Hans Brinker, “the boy who put his finger in the dike”, with a pun on dyke. Davidson has said that he regards Jethro as his favourite storyteller, one of his great stories being ''Train don’t stop Camborne Wednesdays''. He has hosted two shows of his own, ''The Jethro Junction'', on HTV and in December 2001 appeared in front of Queen Elizabeth II for the Royal Variety Show. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jethro (comedian)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
