Watch any reasonably competent actor playing the part and you will know. Get hold of a copy of Act 2 Scene 5, with Malvolio played by Richard Briers, or Nigel Hawthorne, or Alex Guinness, or Michael Maloney or someone like that. Watch it.
Malvolio is what in Shakespeare's day they called a "humorous character", a person dominated by a personality quirk, generally an unpleasant one. Malvolio is vain and stuck-up. He dreams of a romance with Olivia, his employer and social superior. He sneers at all the other characters in Olivia's household. The audience begins to think he is asking for a swift kick in the pants, and Maria, Toby et al are happy to deliver.

As funny as what?
Something might be as funny as a clown falling from a tall building. Other things might be as funny as your favorite comedian telling jokes in your living room for you and a group of your friends.
Why is malvolio from Twelfth Night greedy for power?
He is not really. But he is incredibly vain so he imagines himself as being the beloved of Olivia and therefore having power over her household, even (and perhaps especially) Sir Toby. Sir Toby is family and Malvolio is only a servant, so Toby can rebuke him all he likes, and Malvolio can only take his revenge in fantasy. When Maria's letter falls into his hands, the possibility arises that fantasy may become reality. Still, Malvolio's dreams of the greatness that is to be thrust upon him is limited to the suggestion in the letter--that he might marry Olivia and be in charge of the house. This is really a modest ambition, when you think of it.
What might the audience do during the performance?
