Comedy routine in small boat (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sketch

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

'comedy routine' is the definition.
'sketch' can be an answer for 'routine' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the 'comedy' bit.

'small boat' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'boat' becomes 'ketch' (ketch is a kind of sailing vessel).
's'+'ketch'='SKETCH'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sketch that I've seen before include "Rapid drawing - short play" , "Short comic routine" , "result of quick draw?" , "Short humorous scene" , "Small sailing boat" .)
