There's no problem not liking Shakespeare - you like what you like, after all. But I would definitely recommend seeing more performances of Shakespeare before you dismiss him entirely, because seeing a play performed and reading a play can be very different experiences. As you might well imagine as a budding playwright yourself.

Since you're writing a comic play, maybe you might be interested in seeing some of Shakespeare's comic plays performed (or the film if none are playing near you). Much Ado About Nothing (I really enjoyed Joss Whedon's film actually), As You Like It, A Midsummer Night's Dream, Twelfth Night - they all benefit hugely when they're performed by actors with chemistry and comic timing, and it becomes much easier to parse the language when you hear in context. For instance, I saw A Comedy of Errors when I was 18 and it was one of the funniest things I've seen in my life, and I would have no chance reading an unannotated Shakespeare play.

It doesn't hurt that at their heart they're basically whimsical romantic comedies with the oldest plot devices of the genre done expertly: mistaken identity, cross dressing, long lost siblings/children/royalty, enemies become lovers, people getting turned into asses - did I mention mistaken identity? Seeing them just to see how the plot and comedy are constructed might be good research for you, if nothing else ;) /Comedic Shakespeare stanning
