When your friend makes you laugh, you can say she/he is funny. We use funny who makes you laugh.
However, fun means an experience or activity that is very enjoyable and exciting.

A very noticeable difference, I think.
Fun = enjoyable
Funny = comical

They have different meanings.
Fun = 好玩 (ie. good play)
Funny = 滑稽 (ie. hilarious)
In addition, 'fun' can be both a noun and an adjective. 'Funny' is an adjective, and its noun form is 'funniness'.
