THE show all about the failure and success of love / Always with two Storyteller:innen, comedy and professional tips from couples counseling & Co.
The FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS are THE show about failure and success in love. The live show always features two storytellers who tell you the stories of their experiences in love and - most importantly - what they have 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, there is professional advice from a couples therapist, coach & co. who will tell you how to make relationships work better in the long term.
Empathize, laugh, understand - these are the FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS.
Sharing stories around the campfire Telling stories is one of mankind's most primal forms of communication. Stories have always transported experiences in the most beautiful way and connected us with each other. And stories have a special magic. Through them, we can discover commonalities and learn from differences. Especially when it comes to relationships and separations, an open and sincere exchange with others can help us to understand better.
At FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS - Stories of failure in love, we may not be sitting around a campfire, but guests get the perfect mix of emotional, funny and helpful: personal stories, relieving stand-up comedy and professional tips on how to make relationships work better in the long term. We celebrate open and respectful interaction with one another. The focus is on understanding yourself and others better. And to show them: It's okay to mess up sometimes.
What's in the 2.5 hours:
"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," says Juli Stockheim, founder of FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS.
"I was with my ex-girlfriend for over 10 years. A great love that was supposed to last forever and then failed. As is the case, a break-up after such a long time does something to you. While I was coming to terms with this failure, I sat on the streetcar in Cologne on a gray November day and looked at the equally gray expressions on the faces around me. I wondered what was happening in other people's lives and whether any of them were experiencing something similar. Am I alone with my experiences and feelings? I hadn't had any conversations with the people around me that day, but I had with others. And I realized that you are not alone. That's why it's good to talk to each other openly and honestly. And it also connects people who were perhaps previously complete strangers. I would like to give this experience to the guests of FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS."
The show first took place in September 2020 and has since been performed over 50 times in Cologne, Stuttgart, Jena, Mainz, Hamburg, Munich, Kiel and Dresden. More cities to follow.
