Show up woman not finishing comic (8)
I believe the answer is:
comedian
'comic' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'show up woman' is the wordplay.
'show up' becomes 'come' (I've seen this in another clue).
'woman' becomes 'dian' ().
'come'+'dian'='COMEDIAN'
'not finishing' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for comedian that I've seen before include "I'm not taken seriously" , "cracking bloke?" , "Humorous entertainer" , "Hope, perhaps" , "wit" .)
