Showman (10)
I believe the answer is:
impresario
'showman' is the definition.
(an impresario funds or organises shows)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for impresario that I've seen before include "Sponsor and manager of public entertainments" , "Showman" , "As company manager" , "Theatrical manager" , "Promoter of public entertainments" .)
