Colchester runs its own comedy circuit, separate from Burlington's scene. Malletts Bay backrooms host the lake-community crowds—families, year-round residents, people who chose Colchester deliberately. Porters Point runs the house shows that don't advertise. Ferry Road Area hosts summer showcases when the population swells. Lakeshore Estates draws the locals who stay through winter. Shore Hills keeps it intimate. The scene exists in the spaces Burlington overlooks, and the comics who discover it find audiences grateful for entertainment that doesn't require the drive.
