It's all right to interrupt one funny person or another (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

jokester

'or another' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'it's all right to interrupt one funny person' is the wordplay.
'it's all right' becomes 'ok' (synonyms).
'to interrupt' is an insertion indicator.
'one funny person' becomes 'jester' (humorous entertainer).
'ok' put within 'jester' is 'JOKESTER'.
