'evidence' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'the strip club is on fire?' is the wordplay.
'the strip club' becomes 'naked' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'is on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'fire?' becomes 'flame' ('flame' can be a synonym of 'fire').
'naked'+'flame'='NAKED FLAME'

'that' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for naked flame that I've seen is " could it have led to hot water?".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
