High comedy is humor that usually requires some additional insight or context to make it amusing. Irony for example is an example of high comedy. A character telling another that he doesn't eat meat upon arriving at a dinner party when we the audience have seen a second character previously slaving away making the meal (which includes meat) and working themselves to the edge of their sanity to please the first character is amusing to us seeing as we have all the information, it wouldn't be funny if we didn't know the second character had worked so hard for no reason.
Low comedy is characterized as being slapstick or farce. Something more akin to physical comedy in which what is currently happening is amusing for some reason. Think of it almost like low-brow humor, you don't need to think very hard to figure it out.
