Comic relief is a technique used to provide a temporary break from tension or heavy moments in a story. In a comedy, the entire purpose is to provoke humor and laughter throughout, so there wouldn't be a need for specific comic relief moments because the entire narrative is already designed to be light-hearted and funny.

How did Shakespeare use comedy in his plays?
Many of Shakespeare's plays are called "comedies" which means, not that they are funny, but that things turn out well for just about everyone in the end. But comedy in the sense of things to make you laugh is also employed in Shakespeare's plays, not only in the comedies but also in what we would now call "comic relief" in the tragedies. Some of what people back then would find funny, does not seem very funny now, especially the behaviour of the clowns. If the Fool in King Lear is supposed to be the comic relief, he doesn't do very well. On the other hand the gravediggers in Hamlet can be quite funny, and so can Osric, and the Porter in Macbeth is hilarious.
What is significance of 'comic relief' in shakespearean tragedy?
If a play is too serious and you just have tragedy upon tragedy then the audience will being to laugh at the tragedy. Not a result that playwrights aim for. So to keep them from laughing at the tragedy they slip little bits of comedy into the play so the audience can have their laugh, relieve the nervous tension, and get back to the grim stuff. Shakespeare understood this and inserted clowns into his more serious plays to provide the comic relief. When Cleopatra order as asp to commit suicide with the clown that brings it to her and remunerate all the virtues of such a death, how nobody ever came back and complained, and such clever things.
