Following a joker, I will be uncomfortable (3-2-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ill-at-ease

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

'uncomfortable' is the definition.
(being ill at ease is being uncomfortable or uneasy)

'following a joker i will' is the wordplay.
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a joker' becomes 'atease' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'i will' becomes 'I'll' (abbreviation).
'atease' put after 'ill' is 'ILL-AT-EASE'.

'be' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ill-at-ease that I've seen before include "Uneasy" , "Uncomfortable with a situation" , "Not comfortable, feeling embarrased" , "Awkward, unsure" , "Unsettled, anxious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
