Ross

I believe the answer is:

recital

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stage performance' is the definition.
'recital' can be an answer for 'performance' (recital is a kind of performance). I am not sure about the 'stage' bit.

'funny article' is the wordplay.
'funny' indicates an anagram.
'article' anagrammed gives 'RECITAL'.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for recital that I've seen before include "Public musical performance" , "statement of facts" , "Performance of music by soloist" , "Public performance of music" , "Maybe solo musical performance" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times and the Irish Times (Crosaire).
