Comedy club jester has bottom in ladies underwear (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

footlights

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

'comedy club jester' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'bottom in ladies underwear' is the wordplay.
'bottom' becomes 'foot' (foot is a kind of bottom).
'in ladies underwear' becomes 'lights' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'foot'+'lights'='FOOTLIGHTS'

'has' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for footlights that I've seen before include "Theatrical profession" , "Theatre" , "Sources of illumination at front of stage" .)
