stage name

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

'soubriquet' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'dizzy agent blocking similar' is the wordplay.
'dizzy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'blocking' is an insertion indicator.
'similar' becomes 'same' ('same' is associated in meaning with 'similar'**).
'agent' anagrammed gives 'tagen'.
'tagen' inserted inside 'same' is 'STAGE-NAME'.

Can you help me to learn more?
