Joke-telling performer (5)
I believe the answer is:
comic
'joke-telling performer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for comic that I've seen before include "Funny man, often stand-up" , "Droll - comedian" , "Victor once, say" , "Funny entertainer, often stand-up" , "Children's publication" .)
