Mike Osman’s JETHRO “Whatever Happened to Denzil Penberthy”

Friday September 18th, 7:30 pm 2026

The fantastic comedian Mike Osman was a great friend of Jethro and has always done a brilliant impression of him which Jethro loved. Mike said “there will only ever be one Jethro who was loved by millions. I am doing my tribute show to keep his name and fabulous jokes and stories alive – he was one of our greatest story tellers of all time. I hope to do him justice and that many of his wonderful fans can come along to see the show as well as new the ones who have discovered his hysterical videos on YouTube”.

Jethro’s partner and widow said Mike is the only person who could do this and Jethro would have loved it. In fact Jennie sent Mike four of the great man’s ties. Mike said “I am so proud and humbled to be performing my tribute show to a wonderful friend who I miss greatly wearing one of his ties; walking on to the stage I am sure I will feel a part of the incredible man will be on there with me”. Get ready to relive some of your favourite Jethro jokes as well as some new ones that he would be telling if he was still with us. It will be a great night with great laughs as the poster says ‘don’t bring the kids but your Granny will love it 

Jim Davidson – OBE   “Side splitting hilarious – It’s Jethro at his best in the guise of 
Mike Osman”

Chris Tarrant – OBE “…Mike does the best impression of me I have ever seen, his Jethro is even better.
If you go to one theatre show this year..

Jennie – Jethro’s Partner “I have given Mike, four of Jethro’s ties to wear on his tour, Jethro was such a good friend and fan of Mike Osman, and now I feel Jethro’s DNA is firmly on the stage with his friend.”
