There is a word for someone who STARTS the applause at a concert – this is usually a person planted in the audience for just that reason, to start the applause. What is the word?????

So sorry, I don't think that is it, but I appreciate the effort! I found this word about 10 years ago in one of those "Word A Day" calendars. Can't remember what the word was.

claqueur
I'd like some of those at my funeral instead of hired mourners.

Oh yes! I'd like to see that. (not that I want you dead, au contraire, but the image, the idea!)  Has it ever been done in a movie?
