'as the main attraction' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'portray joker' is the wordplay.
'portray' becomes 'draw' (to portray by drawing).
'joker' becomes 'card' (joker is a type of playing card).
'draw'+'card'='DRAWCARD'
