It rather depends on the path of the comet. Some comets (such as Encke's comet) return in as little as 20 years - others might not return to our solar system for centuries (Comet McNaught has an orbital period of over 92,000 years !) It's possible to see at least one comet per year if the weather conditions ar favourable.
