Funny person entertaining first of tourists in English city (7)
I believe the answer is:
preston
'english city' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'funny person entertaining first of tourists' is the wordplay.
'funny' indicates anagramming the letters.
'entertaining' is an insertion indicator.
'first of tourists' becomes 't' (1st letter of 'tourists').
'person' is an anagram of 'preson'.
'preson' going around 't' is 'PRESTON'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for preston that I've seen before include "city (as of 2002)" , "Town on the Ribble" , "Administrative centre of Lancashire" , "City in Lancashire" , "English city" .)
