Melancholy panto character (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pierrot

(Other definitions for pierrot that I've seen before include "Male clown from French pantomime" , "Seaside clown" , "Aged entertainer" , "In French panto, clown with white face and baggy costume" , "Type of clown" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
