Audiences can expect an evening of laughter and nostalgia as the brilliant comic and impressionist becomes his close friend - even sporting some of his clothes.
Mike told the Daily Echo: "It's humour we'll never see the like of again and I really wanted to pay tribute to one of the greatest comics this country has ever had.
"I checked with his partner of 38 years Jennie and she said you're the only person who can do this as Jethro loved you.
"She's given me four of his ties to wear and when I walk on stage I feel like part of his DNA is with me.
"It's a real thrill and a privilege. He was a great friend and I'm so glad we're doing him proud. People are absolutely roaring with laughter at it.
"The material is non offensive. Our tagline is 'don't bring your kids, but granny will love it!'
"It's naughty, cheeky, and funny, but there's nothing offensive. There's really nothing like it, people love it and I'm absolutely loving it too."
Jennie and Jethro's long-time manager John Miles have seen the show, full of Jethro's fabulous jokes and captivating stories, and given it their seal of approval.
Renowned impressionist, comic and broadcaster Mike lives in Rownhams, close to where he grew up.
A sought after MC and after-dinner speaker, he is no stranger to performing in a host of different roles. He’s taken on Prince Charles, the Trotter brothers, Sir Bruce Forsyth and his great pal Chris Tarrant, as well as Saints fans favourites Lawrie McMenemy and his famous Channon and Ball.
Mike Osman's Jethro Tribute Show is at The Concorde Club on Sunday.
