On Fri June 12 2026, EVRY1 returns. Seven people will share true comeback stories about their lives. This night is headlined by a true story told live by Todd Maguire.
Todd and Donny are two different people. One is the real man, but the other is a representation of a whole different life.
Todd was a young Queensland police officer whose world changed overnight when his partner died by suicide. He turned to alcohol, then threw himself into undercover police work, stepping into a side of policing that was extremely messy and extremely dangerous.
That's where Donny was born. Donny was the one who could walk into drug houses, sit across from traffickers, and handle whatever came his way. Donny was the one that was on the edge, in more ways than one. Donny did whatever was required.
Todd found himself living a remarkable double life, getting deeper into organised crime circles while trying to outrun the grief that followed him everywhere. But grief like that doesn’t just disappear; it sits there, waiting. And when Todd eventually stepped away from the job, Donny remained with him, and everything he had tried to bury really started to surface.
Todd's story has been like a movie, and he is sharing his story live a this event,
EVRY1 S1 E2 will be more than a show - it’s a reminder that the deepest struggles often happen unseen and that hearing another person’s truth can change how we understand our own. It’s a celebration of resilience, a challenge to look beyond the surface, and a powerful night of community, courage and humanity.
Room sells out at 80 so get in quick!
