The comedian died today at the age of 73 due to Covid, apparently he was double jabbed. I know he was not to everybody’s taste and I never got to see him live but I did think he was a very very funny man.RIP Jethro…

My father was a great fan of his and I can still picture him laughing.

Gosh, that’s sad, his poor family.
I remember him for the waaasp.
Quite scary that he was fully jabbed and yet died. Did he have any underlying conditions do we know?

We have seen him live twice and had several DVD’s at one time.
DD on decorating their bedroom and arranging to see me said very recently, ‘You wouldn’t come and paint my house’

We don’t want to believe you can be double jabbed AND boostered and still die!

Yes, I read with shock that he had both jabs and the booster, and was close in age to me. It makes you suddenly realise we are not as safe as we think, and should still be taking great care.

But wasn’t he a cancer victim although I ve never heard of the man I did read that in the news so presumable he died though his body’s vulnerable immune system not strong enough to fight it even with the vaccines

BlueBelle I guess that’s the explanation.

I was a big fan, being west country myself. He was truly very funny and had a way with him that I enjoyed. I was shocked that he had had his three jabs but died anyway, but I think I do recall some health issues.
RIP Jethro.

He was one of the few comedians that I actually laughed out loud at. R.I.P Jethro..

No, sorry, and I hate that term.

He didn't die of cancer, he died of Covid.

but I think I do recall some health issues
Yes, he did have health issues, like many who have survived Covid.
Others without health issues have died too, there seems to be no rhyme or reason.

He was very funny, irreverent, non-PC so not often on TV.

RIP Jethro
