You need more context. The sentence could read Funny (the clown called Mr Funny), looking in the mirror and seeing this room ... said to himself 'Where am I?'.

We cannot interpret a sentence in isolation - it needs context; i.e. the surrounding sentences.

Which specific part of the sentence is causing confusion? The use of funny there would normally have a comma after it (and the sentence would be slightly rephrased so that everything after the comma stood as an independent clause) and it's being used as a sentence modifier. Per Merriam-Webster, another sentence similar to it is Funny, things didn't turn out the way we planned. The part about looking into a mirror and seeing this room is no doubt meant to be humorous.
