'Comedian' encompasses a fashionable occupation — join the queue (4,2,4)

I believe the answer is:

wait in line

'join the queue' is the definition.
(line up in a queue)

'comedian encompasses a fashionable occupation' is the wordplay.
'comedian' becomes 'wit' (a witty person).
'encompasses' indicates putting letters inside (some letters encompass or go around others).
'fashionable' becomes 'in' (in can mean fashionable or trendy).
'occupation' becomes 'line' (line can mean someone's occupation or industry).
'wit' placed around 'a' is 'wait'.
'wait'+'in'+'line'='WAIT IN LINE'

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
