Tear off after vehicle for entertainment (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cabaret

'for entertainment' is the definition.
(cabaret is a kind of entertainment)

'tear off after vehicle' is the wordplay.
'off' indicates anagramming the letters.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'vehicle' becomes 'cab' (cab is a kind of vehicle).
'tear' anagrammed gives 'aret'.
'aret' put after 'cab' is 'CABARET'.

(Other definitions for cabaret that I've seen before include "Liza Minnelli's entertainment?" , "goes on in nightclub?" , "Entertainment at restaurant" , "Bob Fosse musical with Liza Minnelli" , "Nightclub entertainment, floor show" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
