Behaves reasonably, acknowledging comedy, for example, is reasonably good (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
plays fair
'behaves reasonably acknowledging' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'comedy for example is reasonably good' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'comedy for example' could be 'play' (comedy is a kind of play) and 'play' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
