This clue might be a double definition.

'very' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'entertaining' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for jolly that I've seen before include "Happy, cheerful" , "Mirthful" , "Very - jovial" , "all-expenses-paid trip" , "' - - boating weather' (song)" .)
