The comedy crate was written by Adam Gashlin for Mozilla's use. The entire comedy 0.2.0 crate is full of unsafe code and makes many assumptions about memory and layout, but there is no particular processing of untrusted input here.

safe-to-run

cargo-vet does not verify reviewers' identity. You have to fully trust the source the audits are from.

Crates in the crates.io registry are tarball snapshots uploaded by crates' publishers. The registry is not using crates' git repositories. There is absolutely no guarantee that the repository URL declared by the crate belongs to the crate, or that the code in the repository is the code inside the published tarball. To review the actual code of the crate, it's best to use cargo crev open comedy. Alternatively, you can download the tarball of comedy v0.2.0 or view the source online.
