Clifton layers by immigration wave and factory generation. Allwood rooms fill with families whose grandparents worked the mills, while Botany Hills hosts the newer arrivals who discovered the commute. Richfield draws the established residents. Maple Valley operates in its own bubble. Albion and Garfield Place add their own rhythms. The comedy here navigates populations that share a city but trace different journeys. Open mics become neutral ground where all the waves sit together. The comics who honor Clifton's layered history find audiences grateful someone saw the whole Passaic County story.
