How do Perform: Comedy bards work?
They give their teammates superpowers by making them laugh?

They make the enemies laugh so hard that they start fucking up their attack rolls.
Once they are a decent level, they can make enemies laugh so hard that they are stunned or lose any will to fight.
On advanced levels, they literaly make you laugh yourself into unconciousness.
Epic levels make you laugh so much that you suffocate.

Alternatively:
The jokes are so bad, you allies get an attack bonus, because the faster they kill the enemies, the faster they can slap you and make you shut up.
A few levels up, your jokes get so bad, that the enemies need to make a Will Save to keep attacking your teammates instead of you.
Advanced levels have you say jokes so bad, that they inflict pain to your enemies.
Epic level bad comedy makes a stage appear around you and you start making shitty voices with a turbaned skeleton puppet.
Offensively, the bard is Bill Burr and the enemy is Philadelphia:

Maybe they twist irony into reality.
"wouldn't it be funny if he tripped like, right now?
HAH!
Classic."
I'd run a comedy bard as a debuff/disrupter in combat, basically heckling and taunting the enemies so they slip up and make mistakes, or just lose morale from all the putdowns.

It's a double edged sword, whoever hears it gets minus to their strength due to laughter.
Teammates get earplugs.
