Shy about setter and director producing something amusing (6)
I believe the answer is:
comedy
'something amusing' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'shy about setter and director' is the wordplay.
'shy' becomes 'coy' (coy can mean shy or modest).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'setter' becomes 'me' (the setter of the clue).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'director' becomes 'd' (abbreviation eg in film reviews).
'me'+'d'='med'
'coy' placed around 'med' is 'COMEDY'.
'producing' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for comedy that I've seen before include "A funny play or farce" , "Happy-ending play" , "Play about identical twins" , "Funny and/or happy play" , "Play with two sets of twins" .)
