'comedy' is the definition.

'central chump tours' is the wordplay.
'central' means to look at the middle letters.
'tours' becomes 'our' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
The middle letters of 'chump' are 'hum'.
'hum'+'our'='HUMOUR'

Can you help me to learn more?
