gagger

Comedy script contributor

A gagger is something that causes gagging—either literally, as an object placed in the mouth, or figuratively, as something so revolting it triggers the reflex.

In theater and film, a gagger is someone who writes or delivers gags: The show hired three gaggers to punch up the script.

The word also appears in sexual contexts for devices or acts involving oral obstruction.
