🎤 The live show always features two storytellers who share their personal "fail in love" stories and what they learned from them.
🤩 There is always a comedian or comedienne who makes the audience laugh afterwards - after all, humor is when you laugh anyway.
💡 And at the end, you’ll get professional advice from a couples therapist who’ll share tips on how to make your relationship work better in the long run.
🤭 Empathy, laughter, understanding—that’s what FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS is all about. The show is currently on hiatus. New dates will be announced starting in 2027.
🙏 Under „Find an Expert“ Until the big comeback, you can find top relationship experts for personalized counseling.
Talking about your story can be liberating. And sharing connects. Whether you've been left or you've broken up: tell your story, tell what you've learned and learn a lot of new things about yourself in the process. Speakers for the FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS are always wanted.
Grow beyond yourself, this is your stage!
Why do I always end up with the wrong person? My friends all get married, but why doesn't love work out for me? How do my partner and I not fall into the daily grind? How do you deal with needs and expectations in a relationship? Find out more in the FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS blog.

Telling stories around the campfire is one of humanity's most primal forms of communication. Storytelling has always been the best way to convey experiences and connect us with one another. And stories have a special magic. Through them, we can find common ground and learn from differences.
That’s why my mission with FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS is to use this magic to bring people closer together and show them that they’re not alone. FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS invite us to inspire one another and laugh together. Hhere are lusting stories from the love lives of others and meaningful moments for everyone.
The speakers’ courageous openness creates an atmosphere of mutual trust. One thing is certain: No matter what the stories are about, at least one person in the audience is familiar with the topic, and this provides an important impetus.
The FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS celebrate diversity in every respect and stand for open and respectful interaction with one another. The FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS are more than just a show. We are a community that advocates for a world free of discrimination.
We build bridges between people who may not have much in common at first glance and look at what connects us rather than what divides us. The show thus invites us to understand each other better and helps us to understand ourselves better.
You will soon find new FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS event dates at Buy tickets.

I'm Juli Stockheim, mid-30s, a Cologne resident by choice, an optimistic realist and the founder of FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS - stories of failure in love. I love the stories behind people. What moves them. What disappoints them. What inspires them. And there are so many stories that are worth telling. My story leads me to create a show for you: I was with my ex-girlfriend for over 10 years. A love that started when I was 18 and was supposed to last forever, but then failed. As is the case, a break-up after such a long time does something to you.
As I was coming to terms with this failure, I was sitting on a tram in Cologne on a gray November day in 2019, looking at the equally gray expressions on the faces around me. I wondered what was going on in the lives of the other people and whether any of them might be going through something similar right then. Am I alone with my experiences and feelings? On that particular day, I didn’t strike up any conversations with the people around me, but I did on other days. And that’s when I realized that you’re not alone after all. That’s why it feels good to talk openly and honestly with one another. And it brings strangers together. I’d like to share this experience with you at the FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS.
The good thing about life is that it always writes new stories. After every break-up, there comes a point when you have overcome the end of the relationship. In the best case scenario, you can look back with gratitude on the time you spent together, find new strength and perhaps even a new great love. I wish you that and look forward to hearing your story!
You can also book me as a host for corporate events. With over 50 shows and more than 6 years of stage experience with FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS alone, I know what matters in on-stage conversations, readings, and panel discussions. I studied political science and social sciences and have been working in political communications for over 15 years.
