Smoke & Mirrors wins TripAdvisor award
Posted on: 03 Sep 2020The popular magic and comedy spot has also retained its top spot on TripAdvisor among other popular Bristol attractions.
Renowned local comedy and theatre venue Smoke & Mirrors has been recognised at this year's TripAdvisor Travellers' Choice Awards, based on an array of glowing reviews posted by visitors throughout 2019.
Smoke & Mirrors' latest award comes following an extended period at the top of TripAdvisor's 'Best Things to Do' list, where it's held the number-one spot for over a year.
Scooping the Travellers' Choice Award for Theatres, the venue team will be buoyed by the news in time for their grand reopening this evening (Thursday 3 September), following months of closure as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
Based on a full year of TripAdvisor reviews, the annual Travelers' Choice Awards are allocated for consistently positive feedback, placing the winners among the top 10% of hospitality businesses and attractions worldwide.
Kanika Soni, Chief Commercial Officer at TripAdvisor, explains: “Although it’s been a challenging year for travel and hospitality, we want to celebrate our partners' achievements.
"Award winners are beloved for their exceptional service and quality. Not only are these winners well-deserving, they are also a great source of inspiration for travelers as the world begins to venture out again.”
Regularly tipped as one of Bristol's best entertainment venues, Smoke & Mirrors host a wide range of performances year-round, from live standup to intimate close-up trickery and their flagship Comedy & Magic Show.
The venue team have been hard at work throughout lockdown, hosting a string of interactive live-streamed shows in the absence of their regular on-stage programming.
Of course, Smoke & Mirrors have also been busy adapting the performance areas in compliance with new COVID safety guidelines, ensuring a safe return to business for visitors, performers and venue staff.
Speaking on the award win, performer and Smoke & Mirrors owner, Mark Bennett, said: “We are absolutely over the moon to be awarded the Travelers' Choice Award for 2020.
"It's been a hard six months, but we're ready to entertain again and cannot wait to get old and new customers back.”
