Temecula, CA, February 20, 2025 --(PR.com)-- Sonny Smith, the LouddMouth Comedy Festival Founder & facilitator, is geared up to establish this newly developed festival by partnering with local and regional businesses, creating strong sponsorship & promotional partnerships to additionally give economic growth and empowerment to Temecula Valley area entrepreneurs and businesses.

Sonny has been producing a monthly comedy showcase “Sonny’s LouddMouth Comedy Presents” at Shooters Bar & Grill in Old Town Temecula over the last 8 months consistently bringing hundreds of people together for a night of laughter.

November 2024, LouddMouth Comedy celebrated 13 years of existence as a comedy brand with a stellar comedy show night.

"Being a former comedy club owner of 'The LouddMouth Screening Room' which started alongside of the LouddMouth Comedy brand in 2011, I understand very well the joys and ups & downs of owning and running a comedy club and also working to book & promote talent. So making the connection to grow LouddMouth Comedy within Shooters has been an amazing partnership & supporter to LouddMouth Comedy, as well as a staple in the community," says Sonny.

"Shooters has also recently undergone new management and making positive changes to grow their business, so together, were working diligently to provide an fun and relaxing atmosphere to the Inland Empire region," says Sonny who is also a comedian/entertainer in her own right.

From the deep desire to continue to grow a steady and loyal fan base after moving LouddMouth Comedy from the Metro Atlanta market to Southern California, Sonny found it easy to come to the decision to make Temecula be the home of the Festival. “Temecula constantly attracts a steady growth of comedy patrons from the surrounding LA, Riverside & San Diego counties making it the idle destination for a Comedy Festival,” says Sonny.
