Amusing story (8)
I believe the answer is:
anecdote
<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">amusing story</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this in another clue)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>
(Other definitions for anecdote that I've seen before include "Short and amusing/interesting story" , "Yarn" , "Short amusing tale" , "A short amusing story, probably true" , "Brief story" .)
