Unnatural perspective: In the blink of an eye Comedy can be the size of a mountain or a pin head it enjoys messing with other creature's senses. Able change it's size at will, it is immune to the Reduce/enlarge spell and can cause disadvantage on ranged attacks using it's reaction as it messes with the creature percieving it sense of range.
Unnatural gravity: Comedy's sense of gravity is warped and is able to switch it's own gravity at will allowing it to fall to the ceiling or move along walls as if it was the floor.
Reality warping madness: Comedy's very essence causes reality itself to warp around it causing insanity inducing visions and sounds. The more acute a creature's senses the more their senses are bombarded.
Creatures who see or interact with Comedy must make a DC 22 Wisdom saving throw, on a failed save the creature takes 2d6 psychic damage and suffers from a short term madness (see madness tables in DMG), on a second save takes an additional 2d6 psychic damage and suffers from a long term madness (see madness tables in DMG) and on a failed 3rd save another additional 2d6 psychic damage and now suffers from a permanent madness (see madness tables in DMG).

Description
A Supernatural being from a far outer plane. A spindley, bizarre, monochrome jester wearing theatrical comedy masks that switches in the blink of an eye, a new unsettling grin on every expression and with a mass of legs that phase in and out of reality from a insectoid thorax, it's movements and gestures defy all logic.
It might check it's sharp claws by slowly fully rotating its entire forearm several times over, it's masked face might suddenly flip upside down as it's upper body twists and warps impossibly. With the exception of the mask, it doesn't matter where Comedy is observed from, every part of it that's stage right of the observer is black and every part of it that's stage left is white it doesn't matter which way it's facing.
Most creatures who view this entity sometimes notice faint outlines of smiling faces seemingly from the fabric of reality itself just out of the corner of thier vision and many go insane meeting such an impossible being.
Its voice; high-pitched and distorted, the mocking laughter of a sadistic audience undercuts every word it says, a single agonised scream can just about be heard among the manic laughter.
The only thing that is more alien and mysterious than this creature's physiology is its motives sometimes helping, sometimes hurting, if it answers to something greater or just a slave to it's own twisted whims no one knows.
