Intrigue

Comedy of intrigue relies primarily on the unfolding of an action throughout the play, based on a well-constructed plot. While in situation comedy, the said situation is established from the outset, and the play simply explores all its unexpected consequences, here it is the development of the story that takes precedence, with its unexpected twists and surprising ending. Situation comedy is primarily based on dramatic irony (where the audience knows more than most of the characters), whereas comedy of intrigue thrives on exhilarating suspense (where the audience knows less than most of the characters).
