satirizer
Wit with pen
A satirizer is someone who creates satire—using humor, irony, or exaggeration to criticize or mock people, institutions, or social conventions.
The word emphasizes the agent rather than the art: Jonathan Swift was a masterful satirizer of English politics.
Also spelled satiriser in British English.
