To play the comedy of your scene, you probably want to HEIGHTEN it. That means to take the circumstances of the scene and make them more absurd. Whoa, what? That sounds heady and difficult. A much simpler way to heighten: play the pattern. Repeat. Repeat with more emotion. Repeat with specifics. This will add energy to your scene, help you avoid getting lost in plot and keep things silly. Let's practice the fine art of DOING IT AGAIN.
