Tease performing in Somerset town (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

taunton

'somerset town' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'tease performing' is the wordplay.
'tease' becomes 'taunt' (synonyms).
'performing' becomes 'on' (as in being on stage).
'taunt'+'on'='TAUNTON'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for taunton that I've seen before include "County town of Somerset" , "Home of Somerset CCC" , "SW town" , "English town" , "Somerset's county town" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
