When I create a letter using the standard letter class, and try to create header using fancyhdr package, the header never displays even after using \thispagestyle{fancy}. I do not like to use KOMA-Script. Would someone like to help me out?

Another alternative is to use oneside, but toggle headers based on the page number, like this:
\documentclass[oneside]{book}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\usepackage{ifthen}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead{}
\fancyhead[L]{\ifthenelse{\isodd{\value{page}}}{\leftmark}{\rightmark}}
\fancyhead[R]{\thepage}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\fancyfoot{}
\begin{document}
\chapter{Chapter One}
\section{Section One of Chapter One}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\section{Section Two of Chapter One}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\end{document}
We can just redefine the relevant headers before the bibliography. In this case,
\fancyhead[LE]{\slshape BIBLIOGRAPHY}
is enough. However, this will also affect the heading on the current page unless we insert \clearpage. This doesn't result in an extra page because the start of the bibliography begins a new page in any case. What it does is ensure that the current page is output with the current headings before the change is made to the header.
Somewhat simplified modified version of your MWE:
\documentclass[a4,11pt,twoside]{book}
\usepackage{fancyhdr}
\pagestyle{fancy}
\fancyhead[LE]{\slshape COMEDY}
\fancyhead[RE]{}
\fancyhead[LO]{\hfill \slshape \leftmark}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{0pt}
\usepackage{kantlipsum}
\title{My title}
\author{My name}
\date{}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand{\headrulewidth}{.4pt}
\chapter{example}
\kant[1-3]\clearpage
\fancyhead[LE]{\slshape BIBLIOGRAPHY}
\begin{thebibliography}{99}
\bibitem{example}

The
letterdocument class uses two different page styles for the first page depending on whether\addressis used or not:firstpageif it is not used, andempty, otherwise. You can redefine theplainpage style for pages other than the first, and then\letthose other two styles to beplain; a little example:A close-up to the header:
A close-up to the footer:
