Playing gig in ACT? Tremendous! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gigantic

'tremendous' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'playing gig in act?' is the wordplay.
'playing' indicates an anagram.
'gig'+'in'+'act'='giginact'
'giginact' is an anagram of 'GIGANTIC'.

(Other definitions for gigantic that I've seen before include "Exceedingly large" , "Great big" , "'Enormous, mammoth (8)'" , "walloping" , "Sizeable" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
