I believe the answer is:

discovery

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

'find' is the definition.
('discovery' can be a synonym of 'find')

'nightclub dead' is the wordplay.
'nightclub' becomes 'disco' (I've seen this before).
'dead' becomes 'very' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'disco'+'very'='DISCOVERY'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for discovery that I've seen before include "Breakthrough" , "Find - Scott's ship" , "Something newly found" , "Bay in southeast Australia" , "Pacific explorer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
