Write about a person whose default setting is humour in this April Fool’s Day exercise

Decide who the person is - a fictional character or a real person?

How do they express their humour? What do they find funny? How does their funniness relate to the rest of their personality? Is their funniness their real self, or a persona?

Do they think they’re funny? Do other people think they’re funny? How does their humour make other people feel?

Write a passage of prose or poetry about your character - if you can add in a few laughs, so much the better.
