Switched with comedian (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wit

'comedian' is the definition.
(a witty person)

'switched with' is the wordplay.
'with' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'WIT' is hidden in the letters of 'switched'.

(Other definitions for wit that I've seen before include "Quickness and cleverness with words" , "Cleverness with words and ideas" , "Clever humour in speech" , "Good sense" , "Drollery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
