About Sidney Smith Cre8tiv
Sidney Smith Cre8tiv is built on one simple belief: own your voice, own your work. Our mission is to create bold, independent comedy, film, and podcast projects that entertain, inspire, and amplify overlooked stories — proving that creative control and community can coexist.
Sidney Smith Cre8tiv is the creative studio and production brand founded by comedian, filmmaker, and podcast host Sidney Smith. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, SSC develops and produces original stand-up specials, touring series, and podcasts under its expanding media umbrellas: Laugh Local Network (comedy), You Hear Good Things (podcasts), and Cre8tiv+ (fan and member community). At its core, Sidney Smith Cre8tiv is about building something from the ground up — without waiting for permission. Each project is written, directed, or produced in-house, combining sharp humor, real conversation, and independent filmmaking grit. Our growing catalog includes the independent YouTube special Misunderstood (240K+ views), the touring cigar-lounge comedy series Smoke Sessions, the true-crime podcast Murderess, and a slate of original micro-dramas, films, and live events. Sidney Smith Cre8tiv isn’t just a brand — it’s a blueprint for creators who want to own their art, connect with their audience, and leave something lasting behind.
