Crossword Genius

Funny comedian ignoring the first of three daughters (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

odd

'funny' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'first of three daughters' is the wordplay.
'first' says to take the initial letters.
'three daughters' becomes 'dd' (I've seen this in other clues. I am not sure about the 'three' bit.**).
The initial letter of 'of' is 'o'.
'o'+'dd'='ODD'

'comedian ignoring the' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

(Other definitions for odd that I've seen before include "Funny" , "Not even - curious" , "Eccentric or unpaired" , "Number not divisible by two" , "Extraordinary" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
