David Barker also missed Karl Weigl's 1933 Comedy Overture (Komödien-Vorspiel für mittleres Orchester op. 32) It's a fine piece that has the character of a prelude for a light stage play.
Always an impossible task to compile a truly comprehensive list so here are a few additions to be considered....
Havergal Brian: The Tinker's Wedding (Comedy Overture No.2)
Dr Merryheart
The Jolly Miller
Bax: Rogue's Comedy Overture
Foulds: Le Cabaret (Overture to a French Comedy)
