Would appreciate help in parsing these, please:
7d - The King has supporter of members guillotined; 9d - Ring stuck in pocket, mitigate possible cause of embarrassment?, and 22a - Likely to give up one's money: about 75p? I think the answers are Elvis (I understand The King, but not the rest), whoopee cushion (can wee mean pocket?), and acquiescent.

I cannot remember the clue number but I just wanted to say that I know what a scream (noun) is but I don't know what a comedic (adjective) is.

I think 'a scream' = comedic, which is the adjective from comedy and therefore means funny.

If a person or a thing is a scream then they are funny.
