“My team and I had an amazing evening private dining at the Oxford Malmaison. What made the night extra special was being entertained by Smoke & Mirrors.

“Corporate entertainment doesn’t get any better than this. I don’t know how your actors do it, but laughing till it hurts has to be the best feeling ever!” Seb @ Welcombe Manor, Stratford-upon-Avon, Warwickshire

“What an evening?! Your actors are just amazing” Fay Toombs @ Wilton Windmill 2014

“As a comic creation, your Dave Dobbs is right up there with Alan Partridge. Brilliant for event bonding and teamwork. I saw a side to my colleagues I’d scarcely dared to imagine!” Gillian & Co. @ Malmaison, Oxford

“The actors really set the scene, they stayed in character, and they were absolutely great!” Microsoft @ Cotswold Park Barns, Gloucestershire

All our corporate packages are tailor-made to your requirements, and we offer complete flexibility. Events can be run as competitions, as a well-earned reward for hardworking staff, as hospitality for existing and potential clients, and so on. All our formats are great fun, and naturally encourage delegates to break the ice, chat, and share ideas.

Ancestral Vices is perfect for groups of about 8-20 guests: you and your colleagues get to play the starring roles, and the script is always adapted to suit the occasion; whilst Bloody Business is ideal for slightly larger groups of up to about 45 guests – sit back and enjoy the mayhem as your company and your colleagues take centre-stage in a very special and completely bespoke event that is only available for corporate bookings!

And if you’re planning a larger event for a group of anywhere up to about 150 guests, just browse the rest of our plots and see what catches your eye.

In terms of numbers, three-actor events can play audiences of up to about 45 guests; four-actor events will work perfectly for up to around 80 guests; five-actor events would be ideal for 50-120 guests; and six-actor events would be the way to go for 80-150 guests. Obviously these are guidelines rather than strict limits, so just let us know what appeals, and we’ll do the rest.
