I will get a joker and 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!

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

'i will get a joker' is the wordplay.
'i will' becomes 'I'll' (abbreviation).
'get a joker' becomes 'atease' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'ill'+'atease'='ILL-AT-EASE'

'and' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ill-at-ease that I've seen before include "Unable to relax" , "Uncomfortable, embarrassed - sick and relaxed" , "Unsure and constrained in manner" , "Allies eat while feeling awkward" , "Uncomfortable with a situation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
