'The Jewish Vicar' performed by Jon Canter (from SPLASH!)
Jon Canter reads his excellently funny story 'The Jewish Vicar' about a man who finds himself in the wrong clothes at the right time. Recorded at the Jubilee Hall, Aldeburgh, in 2012.
The story was later developed into a BBC Radio 4 afternoon play starring Stephen Mangan, Claudie Blakley and Pauline McLynn (2014).
