Mythos: Ragnarök was created in 2021 in the hope of combining theatre and wrestling in a way that had never been done before.
Talking about the show, creator of Mythos: Ragnarök Ed Gamester said: “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.”
