2Please edit your question in accordance with the guidelines for single word requests. You should give an example sentence, describe any additional nuances of meaning that you want the requested word to have, and explain any research you have done (are there any verbs you have already considered, but discarded? Did you check a thesaurus?).– herissonJul 16, 2016 at 19:44

The word I would use would be "tragicomic" or "tragicomical." Both are adjectives that describe the combined elements of tragedy and comedy.
