Yes. Not only did he write a number of plays called comedies (which meant mostly that things turned out well in the end for them), but some of them are actually funny in places. Benedick overhearing the planted conversation about Beatrice's love for him in Much Ado About Nothing, the swordfight between the reluctant Sir Andrew Aguecheek and the even more reluctant Viola in Twelfth Night, Rosalind lecturing the love-struck Phoebe in As You Like It, or the mechanicals' production of Pyramus and Thisbe in Midsummer Night's Dream are all very funny scenes. He also put funny scenes into the tragedies--the Porter scene in Macbeth is a fine example.
