About

On Friday 28 August, you'll hear six true stories, told live by the people who lived them. This event is not only designed to platform these people's lives, but more than anything, build a community of people who choose empathy, curiosity and compassion.

Dean Clifford
Doctors told his parents he wouldn't live past five. Four decades later, Dean shares the remarkable story of the life he was never supposed to have.

Simon "Captain Australia" Harvey
After being given six months to live with stage-four cancer, Simon put on a superhero suit and walked more than 15,000 kilometres around Australia over an 18 month period, all for an extremely worthy cause.

Emma Jane Somaticka
With warmth and humour, Emma explores the unexpected world of neurodivergence, sensory profiles, and the moments that suddenly make a lifetime of experiences make sense.

Beau Haywood
After years of addiction nearly cost him everything, Beau shares the story of rebuilding a life he once believed was beyond saving, all by founding Nourish Street Inc to help people sleeping and living rough.

Jake Thorsen
As a nurse, Jake now cares for people living with the consequences of abuse. Before that, he was one of them.

Sam Sciacca
Sam spent some of his teenage years as a pro wrestler, and while this story is about being a pro wrestler, this story is also not at all about being a pro wrestler.

These stories exist live for one single night only.

Once the night is over, the moment is gone.

Tickets are available now.
