Not to meet for date is sort of comic (5,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stand up

I believe this is a double definition.

'not to meet for date' is the first definition.
(as in standing someone up on a date)

'is sort of comic' is the second definition.
(stand-up comedian)

(Other definitions for stand up that I've seen before include "Sort of comic (to be counted?)" , "Comedian on his feet" , "To wash" , "Rise - be valid" , "Miss date" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
