The two characters that provide most of the comic relief in "Romeo and Juliet" are:

• The Nurse • Mercutio

The Nurse offers humorous and lighthearted moments throughout the play, particularly in her interactions with Juliet. Mercutio also brings a lively and witty energy, especially in his banter and wordplay, which contrasts with the more serious themes of the play.
