Stage performance of funny article (7)
I believe the answer is:
recital
'stage performance' is the definition.
'recital' can be an answer for 'performance' (recital is a kind of performance). I am not sure about the 'stage' bit.
'funny article' is the wordplay.
'funny' indicates an anagram.
'article' anagrammed gives 'RECITAL'.
'of' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for recital that I've seen before include "Public musical performance" , "statement of facts" , "Performance of music by soloist" , "Public performance of music" , "Maybe solo musical performance" .)
