Tigerish second character in silly comedy becoming live regularly (6)
I believe the answer is:
fierce
'tigerish' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fierce that I've seen before include "Vicious" , "Vehement, furious" , "Ferocious, savage" , "intensity" , "Savagely vehement" .)
