I believe the answer is:

stalag

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

'camp' is the definition.
(German prison camp in World War 2)

'stand-up takes all laughter as good to begin with' is the wordplay.
'stand-up' becomes 's' (this might be a standard abbreviation of which I'm unaware).
'to begin with' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letters of 'takes all laughter as good' is 'talag'.
's'+'talag'='STALAG'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stalag that I've seen before include "German World War two prison camp" , "WWII German prisoner of war camp" , "German concentration camp" , "Type of German prison camp" , "German POW camp in WWII" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
