Head of some outfit in satirical sketch (4)
I believe the answer is:
skit
'satirical sketch' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'head of some outfit' is the wordplay.
'head of' indicates taking the first letters.
'outfit' becomes 'kit' (kitting is a kind of outfiting).
The first letter of 'some' is 's'.
's'+'kit'='SKIT'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for skit that I've seen before include "Comedy item" , "Brief satirical sketch" , "Short satirical piece" , "Opportunity to take off" , "A piece of humorous mimicry" .)
