'Having a laugh' is a remark used to describe a type of comic behaviour that is facetious, ironic or sarcastic. The person may be fooled into believing the other person is being serious, when in fact he's just 'having a laugh'. It's harmless fun.
In some cases it's synonymous with mockery.
But like most things British its subtle and understated.
It's also lighthearted in nature
"Are you suggesting I look like a girl with my long hair"
"No mate, I'm just have a laugh''
