Crossword Genius

Performer who starts gagging? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

comic

'performer who starts gagging?' is the definition.
(comic perform jokes or gags)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for comic that I've seen before include "Funny (person, paper)" , "SECOND PART OF 16" , "Victor once, say" , "Funny; comedian" , "Children's periodical" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
