I believe the answer is:

irony

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

'humorous style' is the definition.
'irony' can be an answer for 'style' (irony is a kind of style). I'm not certain of the 'humorous' bit.

'club comedy at last' is the wordplay.
'club' becomes 'iron' (type of golf club).
'at last' suggests the final letters.
The last letter of 'comedy' is 'y'.
'iron'+'y'='IRONY'

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for irony that I've seen before include "Kind of sarcasm, sounds metallic" , "Sarcastic use of praise" , "the reverse of what you'd expect" , "Mild sarcasm" , "form of sarcasm" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
