At the weekend I get up burlesque (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

satirise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'burlesque' is the definition.
('burlesque'->'satirize' is in my internal thesaurus and 'ize'->'ise')

'at the weekend i get up' is the wordplay.
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the weekend i' becomes 'sati' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'get up' becomes 'rise' (synonyms).
'sati' put next to 'rise' is 'SATIRISE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for satirise that I've seen before include "parody" , "Criticise with a literary composition" , "Insult or scorn with witticisms" , "Ridicule with irony" , "Ridicule with witty words" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
