Arrive in need, upsetting performer (10)
I believe the answer is:
comedienne
'performer' is the definition.
(comedienne is a kind of performer)
'arrive in need upsetting' is the wordplay.
'arrive' becomes 'come' (coming is a kind of arriving).
'upsetting' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'need'='inneed'
'inneed' with letters rearranged gives 'dienne'.
'come'+'dienne'='COMEDIENNE'
(Other definitions for comedienne that I've seen before include "Female comedy actor" , "Female humorist" , "stand-up entertainer?" , "Funny female performer" , "Rivers perhaps" .)
