Comedian’s act is run-of-the-mill (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

routine

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'comedian's act' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'run-of-the-mill' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'is' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for routine that I've seen before include "Method" , "Variety act" , "Regular procedure" , "Unvarying set of actions" , "Nine to five?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
