If you are applying for a job in show business, yes. If you're applying for an office job, no.

Not unless you are a professional comedian and belong to a trade union or organization that recognizes you as such.
Otherwise, you may as well just list "class clown". In the business world, there is a very fine line between a funny guy and a horse's ***.

I think you should. Being a comedian, assuming you actually go on stage and entertain large goups of people, should be a very valuable skill to almost any employer.
The job you are applying for and your other experience and accomplishments should dictate whether it should be a bullet or several sentences or fragments describing this role.

If applicable to what you're applying for; try to slant the description of that work to show how it would be helpful in the new job. For example, it might help in customer service: you learned to deal with hecklers and know how to defuse a tense situation with humor, right?
If not applicable, then you should likely only put it if you need to fill a period of time in which you weren't working, or have limited job experience. Just about any work history is better than none, or gaps.

I think you should. They like to see something that stands out, and make you unique. Be prepared with jokes that are not offensive to anyone, though.

It depends on the type of job. If you do, be prepared to tell a few jokes.
