    It might be inferred that it would not be a comedy, but the contrary as it states "most cruel death" and "lamentable comedy". This is used ironically to hint that, in fact, the story is a tragedy, so the reader should not expect sometihng else. The bit of comedy is placed in Botton and the other players who are bad actors and they play a bad version of the play. The tragedy is found in the boy who killed himself.
