James Herriot vet books – funny and moving

Candide by Voltaire

PG Wodehouse is light and funny and excellently written.

Diary Of A Nobody

The Betty McDonald books, e g The Egg and I

Arrowsmith is a classic that is also a medical novel, but not a comedy.

Three men in a Boat

I second pretty much all of Wodehouse and THREE MEN IN A BOAT by Jerome K. Jerome. I would also recommend the wonderful autobiographical account MY FAMILY AND OTHER ANIMALS by Gerald Durrell.

I don’t know if William Boyd’s A GOOD MAN IN AFRICA is considered a modern classic, but it’s a fun novel that mixes up black comedy, satire and outright farce.
