On Wed June 12 2026, EVRY1 returns. Seven people will share true comeback stories about their lives. On paper, it sounds like one thing. In the room, it looks like another.This night is headlined by a true story told live by Todd Maguire.
Todd Maguire spent 27 years with the Queensland Police Service – undercover operations, major crime investigations, tactical operations, counter-terrorism, bomb detection and work across the state. He helped put away traffickers, violent offenders and major criminal networks.
He’s received a Certificate of Recognition and a Commissioner’s Citation for his work infiltrating organised crime groups and helping bring more than 500 charges across major operations.
But behind the medals and commendations was a bloke carrying more than anyone knew.
Todd lived through the worst parts of humanity: violent assaults, suicides, fatal crashes, domestic violence, child abuse and grief. He knocked on doors to deliver news that breaks families. He held people in their worst moments. He stood in scenes that stay with you forever.
Through it all though, Todd found the good in people.
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!
