Funny man to make tourism work after hours (8)
I believe the answer is:
humorist
'funny man' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'tourism work after hours' is the wordplay.
'work' is an anagram indicator.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'hours' becomes 'h'.
'tourism' with letters rearranged gives 'umorist'.
'umorist' after 'h' is 'HUMORIST'.
'to make' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for humorist that I've seen before include "Card" , "Comic story writer" , "Perhaps Thurber" , "A comedian" .)
