The Escaping Reality Magic Show is this week!

Patrick Spencer invites his audience to step out of the daily grind and escape reality for a while. So sit back, relax, and let the magic unfold.

FRI 11 SEP 7:30PM–9:00PM��

Patrick created Escaping Reality as an experimental show after his realisation that nowadays, most people are too busy with their life that they forgot to actually live. In this show, Patrick decided to move away from his usual storytelling presentation and focus more on engaging with the audience through the beauty of magic.

Dave Graney and Clare Moore return with their 2026 album Laburnum Of The Mind, featuring the sharp, sideways single “HITS ARE THE WORST.” It’s a rock record with real engine: grooves, upbeat tempos, drums, guitars, bass, and vocals built for a full‑band show.

FRI 24 JUL | 7:30PM

They’re from Melbourne, but not like those other Melbourne bands. They’re a rock band, but not like those other rock bands. They walk their own line — sharp suits, sharp songs, and a worldview that keeps its head down and itself tidy.

And remember: Hits Are The Worst.

Dave Graney and Clare Moore | FRI 24 JUL 7:30PM

A singular force in Australian music, Dave Graney and Clare Moore return with their 2026 album Laburnum Of The Mind, featuring the sharp, sideways single “HITS ARE THE WORST.” It’s a rock record with a real engine: grooves, upbeat tempos, drums, guitars, bass, and vocals built for a full‑band show. When they hit the stage, they do it as Dave Graney and the mistLY — a group with an engine room and a powder room, tuned for lift‑off.
