Comedian on tour reaches a European region (9)

I believe the answer is:

macedonia

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'region' is the definition.
(Macedonia is an example)

'comedian on tour reaches a european' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
an anagram of 'comedian' is 'macedoni' which is present in the answer.
'a' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for macedonia that I've seen before include "European country, capital Skopje" , "Alexander the Great's homeland" , "republic" , "Landlocked Balkan country" , "Southeast European country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
