Norse wrestling theatre show Mythos: Ragnarök to tour to Darlington this April!

Following four sell-out runs at Edinburgh Fringe and performances all across the world, Mythos: Ragnarök will finally tour the UK in 2026 - including shows at London’s iconic Alexandra Palace. This innovative theatrical experience is the only show of its kind in the world, combining the comedy and grandeur of Norse mythology with the fast-paced plot of theatre and the high- octane spectacle of professional wrestling!

The story is a hilarious and captivating cult classic, which follows relationships and power
struggles between iconic figures such as Loki and Thor, as they attempt to avoid the prophesised
end of the world, Ragnarök. Already one of the top-selling shows of the Edinburgh Fringe
Festival, Mythos: Ragnarök is now touring as a full-length one-of-a-kind theatrical spectacle to
be enjoyed by fans of theatre, wrestling and history alike.

Seamlessly blending the comedy and gravitas of Shakespearean theatre with the palpable
excitement of live combat, this is the only play in the world performed by an entire cast of
professional wrestlers. This revolutionary show will star writer and creator Ed Gamester
performing as the trickster Loki alongside seasoned professional wrestlers Howard Drake as
Odin, Fin McCarthy as Borr and Fenrir, Louise Young as Gullveig, Beau Charles as Baldr and
legendary female pro wrestler Heidi Katrina as Freyja. Joining them is wrestler and stuntman
James Dunn as Thor, Sam Gardiner as Surtr and Jormungandr, Daisy Jenkins as Hel and the
show’s designer and costume maker, Melanie Watson, as Skuld. Their combined years of
experience in the professional wrestling circuit brings jaw dropping and thrilling performances
Mythos: Ragnarök was created in 2021 in the hope of combining theatre and wrestling in a way
that had never been done before.

The show has since become a global spectacle enjoyed by audiences old and young, redefining their understanding of the performance art of wrestling. It is an incredible success story in fierce UK independent theatre.

Creator of Mythos: Ragnarök Ed Gamester, comments, Amazingly, this fusion of theatre with
wrestling has never been done before. It's unique, it’s groundbreaking, but most of all it’s fun!
Nobody gives you a headline slot at Edinburgh Fringe: we earned our way up that ladder
because thousands of people enjoy our show so much that they keep coming back time and time
again, for years.
