Entertainer in revolt quits dancing (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ventriloquist

'entertainer' is the definition.
(ventriloquist is a kind of entertainer)

'in revolt quits dancing' is the wordplay.
'dancing' is an anagram indicator.
'in'+'revolt'+'quits'='inrevoltquits'
'inrevoltquits' with letters rearranged gives 'VENTRILOQUIST'.

(Other definitions for ventriloquist that I've seen before include "Voice-thrower" , "Dummy operator" , "Performer with dummy" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
