“Drama needs humor otherwise it turns quickly into melodrama, and comedy needs depth otherwise it becomes shtick. You’ve got to have a good craft to handle both.”
Howard Fine explains how vital it is to be truly invested in the scene whether you are acting in comedy or drama. Your emotional investment is the same - it’s the issue in the scene that makes it a comedy or drama. If it doesn’t matter to you, it will not matter to the audience.
