life of the party
Center of fun
The life of the party is someone whose energy and personality make a social gathering more fun.
They're typically outgoing, entertaining, and draw others' attention: Sarah's always the life of the party—she had everyone laughing within minutes.
The phrase can carry a slightly ironic edge when someone's behavior becomes excessive or exhausting.
