jokester
Office prank puller
A jokester is someone who tells jokes or plays pranks—a person known for attempting to amuse others.
The term is lighthearted and slightly dismissive, suggesting someone who jokes around rather than a skilled comedian: He's the office jokester, always pulling stunts.
A jokester's humor may or may not land.
