This event might be hard to swallow…
This year, Ripley's Believe It or Not! is celebrating World Sword Swallowers Day with a jaw-dropping live performance at Ripley's Believe It or Not! Copenhagen, and it’s unlike anything you’ve seen before.
Guests will have the rare opportunity to see internationally award-winning sword swallower Cecilia Gosilla perform live! Believe It or Not!, Gosilla is currently the only pregnant sword swallower in the world still actively performing.
Yes. You read that right.
For 4,000 years, sword swallowers have captivated audiences with their daring feats, and today, they continue to push the limits of human ability. This celebration honors past and present performers alike while raising awareness of their contributions to science and medicine.
It also sheds light on the real dangers of sword swallowing, dispelling myths, and recognizing the risks these artists take. We celebrate the resilience and bravery of sword swallowers who prove that this ancient art is still as thrilling and awe-inspiring as ever.
Cecilia Gosilla has built a global reputation for pushing the limits of what the human body can do.
Her performances have stunned audiences at:
International circus stages
Festivals and theaters
Television appearances worldwide
Now, she brings her daring act to Ripley’s Copenhagen for a special live event that puts you just steps away from the action.
Watching a sword swallower isn’t just entertainment; it’s witnessing physical discipline, trust in technique, and centuries of tradition combined into one heart-stopping moment.
This is more than a show. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Included with a ticket purchase to Ripley's Believe It or Not! Copenhagen
