Ah--you are looking for a comedy...try A Midsummer Night's Deam, Much Ado About Nothing, The Taming of the Shrew, As You Like It, Twelfth Night, or Measure for Measure. They are all good.

It's a little out of the ordinary, but I prefer The Tempest. It was one of his last works and has a lot of parallels to the kinds of entertainment becoming popular at the court at the time. Particulary the Royal Masque

I liked "Comedy of Errors"
It is also the shortest.
Live from Lincoln Center did it with circus performers through out the play. That was really good.
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE
Nell, sir; but her name and three quarters, that's
an ell and three quarters, will not measure her from
hip to hip.
ANTIPHOLUS OF SYRACUSE
Then she bears some breadth?
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE
No longer from head to foot than from hip to hip:
she is spherical, like a globe; I could find out
countries in her.

Where stood Belgia, the Netherlands?
DROMIO OF SYRACUSE
Oh, sir, I did not look so low.

A Midsummer Night's Dream. It is not necessarily ha ha funny, but it is deemed a comedy and is a classic.
