Composer runs out of parody (5)
I believe the answer is:
satie
'composer' is the definition.
(French composer Erik Satie)
'runs out of parody' is the wordplay.
'runs' becomes 'r' (cricket abbreviation).
'out of' is a deletion indicator.
'parody' becomes 'satire' (parody is a kind of satire).
'satire' with 'r' removed is 'SATIE'.
(Other definitions for satie that I've seen before include "scorer" , "Erik -----, French early minimalist composer" , "creative Frenchman" , "posed by yours truly close to stage" , "French composer of the Gymnopedies, d. 1925" .)
