These speakers are there for you:

Melanie Mittermeier
is an affair manager, couples counselor, relationship coach, wife, mom, cat mom and always laughing. She has been helping individuals and couples for over 10 years to overcome crises after an infidelity or an affair. The psychological counselor also speaks from her own experience. In her podcast "Learning to love", she has not only held Real Talk on the subject, but also gives professional tips on how to deal with affairs. She will also be on the FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS stage on May 28.

Xenia Brandt
is known for her rebellious humor and spicy topics that have made many a sailor blush. You may know her as the host of the Corner Comedy Open Mic, or as the cover girl of Hinz+kunzt, who recently told her story: when Xenia lived on the streets for years, and why stand-up comedy is her great love and her liberation. Xenia has already performed on stage with Moritz Neumeier, was a finalist at the Mannheim Comedy Cup in the sold-out CAPITOL, and at the Comedy Hot Shots of the Quatsch Comedy Club in Berlin. On May 28, she will be on the FAIL IN LOVE NIGHT stage!

Yasemin Böhm
From cosmic crash landing to intergalactic love ambassador: born somewhere between northern Germany and a distant galaxy, Yasemin Böhm navigated the chaos of Earth at an early age - neurodiverse, with a migration background and the firm conviction that she is actually an alien. Her mission? To spread love, clear up misunderstandings between species (a.k.a. humans) and restore cosmic order. But the universe likes to test its best agents: a turbulent relationship catapulted her into the "valley of her former reality" - a place where even her star map didn't help. Then came the ultimate course correction: a life-prolonging diagnosis. The intergalactic control tower reported: "Emergency landing successful. Restart initiated."

Today, Yasemin is not only standing on both feet again, but at the zenith of her career. With renewed energy, unwavering humor and a healthy dose of galactic madness, she continues to roam the vastness of life - ready to open hearts, shatter clichés and continue to prove that even aliens have a place here.

Jens Naussed

is a business coach, trainer and partner at the Institute for Personality. He has been supporting people and organizations in their development for over ten years - with a clear focus on communication, personality and inner attitude. As a father in a patchwork family, he knows very well how challenging and enriching relationship dynamics can be - both in a private and professional context. On May 28, he will tell you his personal story and what he has learned from it at Odonien.

The event will take place indoors!

+++ General trigger warning +++

The FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS are about failure and success in love - sometimes light and humorous, sometimes profound and emotional. The stories that the storytellers tell from their lives and the way they personally deal with their own experiences reflect a wide range of topics.

However, each of us also has our own experiences and previous stories in life. If you are concerned that some topics might be challenging for you, please email me in advance at juli@failinlovenights.de and we will find out together if this particular evening is suitable for you.

The FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS are not just a comedy show, but so much more: you will empathize, laugh, understand - and maybe even be surprised. In any case, you can expect an evening full of real stories and good entertainment.
