Funny company doctor (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

comedic

'funny' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'company doctor' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'doctor' becomes 'medic' (doctor is a type of medic).
'co'+'medic'='COMEDIC'

(Other definitions for comedic that I've seen before include "Of humour" , "description of light work in theatre" , "Amusing" , "Humorous" , "Funny, laughable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
