We do, surprisingly, accommodate humorous writer (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wodehouse

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

'humorous writer' is the definition.
'wodehouse' can be an answer for 'writer' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'humorous' bit.

'we do surprisingly accommodate' is the wordplay.
'surprisingly' indicates anagramming the letters.
'accommodate' becomes 'house' (I've seen this before**).
'we'+'do'='wedo'
'wedo' with letters rearranged gives 'wode'.
'wode'+'house'='WODEHOUSE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for wodehouse that I've seen before include "P. G. --, writer" , "P G ..... created Jeeves" , "P.G. -, Jeeves author" , "Bertie Wooster's creator" , "P G ........., creator of Bertie Wooster and Jeeves" .)
