Comedy clubs having food brought round (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

farce

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

'comedy' is the definition.
(I know that farce is a type of comedy)

'clubs having food brought round' is the wordplay.
'clubs' becomes 'c' (abbreviation in card games).
'having food' becomes 'fare' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'brought round' indicates putting letters inside.
'c' put inside 'fare' is 'FARCE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for farce that I've seen before include "Forcemeat" , "Travesty" , "Total shambles!" , "Absurdity" , "What was meant to be amusing" .)
