Trite as farcical entertainer (7)
I believe the answer is:
artiste
'entertainer' is the definition.
(I know that artiste is a type of music interpreter)
'trite as farcical' is the wordplay.
'trite as' can be anagrammed to 'ARTISTE'.
However, I am not sure how the anagram is indicated.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for artiste that I've seen before include "Player" , "A sitter for a performer" , "professional dancer?" , "'Public performer, dancer or singer (7)'" , "Professional performer" .)
