Nick Wallace combines magic and storytelling to explore the murky waters of truth and fiction. Charming, unassuming and approachable - but at the same time deeply mischievous and unpredictable. It's no wonder he has been described as "Pure evil wrapped in Mr. Rogers Sweater."

"He is a true magician who not only uses magic tricks to bend your mind, but who just as often employs themes and concepts to blow it away." - Beyond James

Nick has appeared on America’s Got Talent, fooled Penn & Teller on their hit show “Fool Us”, and has been named the Canadian Champion of Magic by the Canadian Association of Magicians. He is the 2018 recipient of the Allan Slaight Award for Canadian Rising Star. In 2022 he was named Variety Entertainer of the Year by the Canadian Organization of Campus Activities (COCA).

Nick Wallace has forgone fancy props and special effects and prefers to conjure with an audience's imagination by presenting magic and mind reading in a way that is both entertaining and thought provoking. One of the biggest names in the business will put on a mind-altering show for one night - do not miss it!

"A hypnotic, mystifying, challenging, supernatural (well, magic does not do Nick justice) piece of entertainment.” - London Fringe

Recommended for audiences 10+.

Happening on Saturday, June 14th at 7pm!
 
Luck be a lady tonight! Prepare to be entertained with campy, dancy drag performances from local drag stars Betty Baker and Sahira Q. That's not all! We also have six games of bingo with fabulous prizes to be won. No need to bring any bingo materials - we'll have all that for you. 

About our performers...

Betty Baker is a cabaret style drag entertainer from Peterborough Ontario, whose performances are high concept, high fashion, high energy and more than a little bit campy! You can always count on energy, comedy and an element of surprise with Betty's performances. Betty designs and sews all of her own drag costumes to connect with and enhance the content of each of her performances.  She has been performing in drag since the age of 15 and her Library Drag Storytime performances have garnered national attention. In September, Betty will begin her fourth and final year of Theatre Production and Costume Design at the Creative School of Toronto Metropolitan University. 

Learn more at https://www.bettybakerdrag.com/or on Instagram at @bettyybaker

Sahira Q is the drag djinn of Peterborough-bold, boundless, and unapologetically intersectional. Born in Zanzibar and shaped by an immigrant upbringing in Toronto, Sahira blends makeup, costume, movement and storytelling into a fearless expression of freedom. Every performance is a mix of sharp humour, raw truth, and electrifying presence. With a background in graphic design, Sahira brings a sharp eye for detail to every look and stage moment. "Drag isn't just an art-it's a statement. A challenge. A celebration."
