Hmmm..don't know if I would consider the ITW witch a comedy role.
And didn't the poster ask for male comedy roles?
I would add Heinzi from Pajama Game...Moonface from Anything..Max in Sound of Music

It's not an ENTIRELY comic role, but there are enough opportunities...Bernadette made it hysterical.
I second Heinzie.
