Funny man made coin (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

comedian

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

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

'made coin' is the wordplay.
'made coin' anagrams to 'COMEDIAN'.
Though, I am unsure how the anagram is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for comedian that I've seen before include "wit" , "Humorist" , "scream?" , "Joker" , "Demoniac kind of funny man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
