For more on Jericho Comedy and all our summer outdoor/drive-in shows, visit our website: www.jerichocomedy.com NB: Jericho Comedy would like to apologise to anyone offended by the clear and obvious error that occurs at approximately 52:30 in the episode. Host Conor McReynolds astonishingly refers to a biscuit bar from Bahlsen as a ‘Time Out’ bar, when of course, he should have said ‘Pick Up’.  Time Out is obviously a Cadbury’s wafer biscuit bar, completely different to a Bahlsen Pick Up.  Both are excellent options to accompany a hot beverage, and Jericho Comedy apologises unreservedly for the inexcusable error our host made in confusing the two bars.  We shall be undertaking internal disciplinary proceedings to ensure such a clear and obvious error doesn’t occur again.
