funster
Life of parties
A funster is someone who likes to have fun or make others laugh—a joker, prankster, or life-of-the-party type.
The word has a slightly dated, corny quality, often used ironically or in mild mockery: Oh, what a funster you are.
It suggests someone who tries a bit too hard to be amusing.
