That depends on your definition of real or fake.
A lot of comedy shows are filmed in front of a live studio audience. The British sci-fi comedy series Red Dwarf is a good series to illustrate the point. It ran for 8 series over ten years. For seven of the 8 series there was a live audience during filming. In those cases the laughs are very real and the actors can often be seen responding to them, pausing so their next line is not drowned by laughter, for example. However, some episodes made use of location filming. Obviously a studio audience can't go out on location, so in those sections of the episodes the filmed material is played back into the studio on a large screen for the audience to respond to. Their laughter is then recorded and synchronised with the soundtrack on the filmed material. In that case the laughter is real and did genuinely occur at those points in that segment, but not at the time the material was recorded.
For the seventh series of the show the studio audience was dropped. The entire show was recorded with no audience, but then the completed episodes were screened to an audience and their laughter recorded and synchronised on the soundtrack in much the same way as for the pre-filmed inserts in the other episodes. That means that two versions of each episode exist, one with and one without the laughter track.
Some shows do use 'canned laughter', which is essentially a track of people laughing at something that has nothing to do with that show that is dubbed on later. It's usually done for a separate comic effect these days, as it is often painfully obvious when it has been used.

Depends on the show some are taped in front of a live audience so the show contains real laughs and some just use a laugh track.

Some are real...others used canned laughter..or laughter sound effects..but you can definitely tell which show does what.
