I guess it depends on the amounts present in the water.

I guess I could try it and see if the comfrey starts looking sorry for

Why risk it? You'll not just damage your plant(s), but the soil, too.
Dishwater 'grey' water is not suitable for use in the garden. If you
wanted to harvest it and use it for flushing the toilet, that would be
reasonable. Keep it away from your soil and plants.
