Rhett & Link’s Mythical Entertainment studio announced today the return of its ticketed livestream event Good Mythical Evening, an R-rated spinoff of their immensely popular and long-running YouTube series Good Mythical Morning. This third annual broadcast will go live Thursday, August 24th at 7pm PT/10pm ET. This year, in a first for Creator-led programming, Mythical will partner with Alamo Drafthouse to offer fans an exclusive in-theater Good Mythical Evening viewing experience at 9 select Alamo Drafthouse locations across the US.
Mythical has selected Kiswe as its partner for this year’s livestream powering both the main event and aftershow. Mythical will also offer a live pre-show to members of the Mythical Society, a subscription-based community for Mythical fans. Following the livestream, Good Mythical Evening will be available to view via video-on-demand rental, also through Kiswe, from Friday August, 25th through Tuesday September, 5th.
The theme of this year’s Good Mythical Evening is “Pain or Pleasure: You Decide!” Fans will be able to participate in the event from wherever they’re watching and vote in real time on the painful or pleasurable choices Rhett & Link must endure (or enjoy) all night long.
General ticket on-sale will begin Monday, July 17th and a pre-sale available to Mythical Society members only will begin Friday July 14th, with tickets starting at $21.99. For further event and ticketing information, please visit goodmythicalevening.com.
Good Mythical Evening is a tremendously popular and highly anticipated event for Mythical. The inaugural Good Mythical Evening livestream in 2021 sold over 70,000 tickets, followed by over 83,000 tickets the following year. The 2022 livestream reached the #2 trending spot on Twitter in the United States, and #7 worldwide for most of the evening it aired. The continued success of the event, adding in new creative wrinkles and the unprecedented theatrical partnership with Alamo Drafthouse, illustrate Mythical’s ability to successfully push the boundaries of YouTube and expand the reach of Creator-led entertainment.
