With whips, wings, muscles, and just the right amount of nudity, Godz flips the narrative on Greek myths for an amazing show! Hailing from their success during last year’s Fringe season, the creative geniuses from Head First Acrobats are back to impress audiences in a new venue: The Vault at Fool’s Paradise. This is a show you cannot afford to miss, promising an hour of laughter, ladders, chairs, and enough humour to send you back to ancient times.

The show features four wildly talented (and good-looking) artists, each with a unique skill set that is sure to wow audiences. Playing the role of Dionysus, Jordan Twartz is a master of the diablo and aerial straps, inspiring ripples of laughter and awe throughout the crowd. Performing alongside Jordan is Liam Dummer, stunning audiences in heels as Zeus and wowing them with golden wings as Cupid. His work as an aerial and balancing acrobat is unparalleled, working the crowd with professionalism, grace, and saucy charisma. In a similar dual role, Thomas Gorham makes Hades all kinds of hot and Apollo all kinds of cool. His work with the trapeze bar and balance acrobatics is sure to keep you at the edge of your seat.

Rounding off the group of Gods is the hilarious, cheeky, and sexy Hercules, played by Callan Harris. As the main protagonist of the show, Callan is an outstanding performer, masterfully showing his skills with ladders and whips (ooh la la). His quips, skills, and showmanship are sure to get you chanting his name.

A short interview with Dionysus himself revealed an inspiring motivation behind the show. Greek myths and legends are typically full of unique and curious tales that are often taken seriously and solemnly. This humorous and exciting retelling brings a well-needed update to the ancient world of the Olympians.

Hunky, funny, and all kinds of dazzling, let the awe-inspiring Godz take you on a wild ride through ancient history. With limited shows left, get your tickets now!
