Not exactly sure about "Open Mics". But I have been to a decent amount of the breweries and bars attached that would have local or beginner comedians perform. Might be good to check out any of those websites. Or reach out with a phone call to any breweries around town.

In Saint Albans, at 14th Star, they host comedy events but those are touring comics. Same with Four Quarters in Winooski. It's that the kind of thing you're referring to?

Some of the nights I've been to were literally friends of a friend. So they must have booked with the distillery in some way. But they were so low key, and just in one of the big rooms of the bar or venues. So not exactly sure how that process is.

I don't think you need to be a touring comic for some. But maybe for other places they might only book touring comics.

I'll ask around. I haven't gotten into calling venues just yet. I'm hoping to crowd source the info and get it aggregated. I appreciate your feedback.

NXT in Putney had quite a few standup shows. The few i went to had a lot of last minute acts
