An example of comic relief is at the beginning of the play with the Montagues and the Capulets:

I:i:41-53 "I will frown as I pass by... No, sir, I do not bite my thumb at you, sir; but I bite my thumb, sir."

Mercutio, no doubt. He jests and puns every chance he gets. He and Romeo's relationship, despite they being complete opposites, provide comic relief for the play.

The nurse plays as comic relief too especially in Act 1 where she keeps retelling an off-colour anecdote about Juliet, and in Act 2 Scene 5 where she teases Juliet by postponing her report on her meeting with Romeo.

Yet the part which was intended by Shakespeare as the comic relief was the part of Peter. This part was intended for Will Kempe, the comedian of the Lord Chamberlain's Men. Peter's funny bit comes in Act IV Scene 5.
