These speakers are there for you:

Alexander Johannes
The newcomer comedian from Frankfurt am Main is a jack-of-all-trades. He has actually been a professional magician for a decade, but last year he decided to make the comedy world unsafe, and with success. Last year he was in the final of the Mannheim Comedy Cup and was chosen as one of the winners of the Quatsch Comedy Club's newcomer comedy competition. In his comedy, he talks about the contradictions of his life. As a nerd who grew up in a socially deprived area in the 90s, he has some funny anecdotes to tell.

Christian Völl

is not only a management consultant for leading IT projects in the automotive, transport and defense industries - he is also a dynamic speaker and YouTuber who inspires people to actively shape happiness and contentment with his brand "Viral Happiness". His mission: to give everyone the knowledge and tools to enjoy life with more joy and fulfillment. One particularly formative experience - originally an unexpected Tinder jackpot - profoundly changed Christian's outlook on life. A scam that didn't just hurt emotionally. He will share this whole story with the FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS audience on August 26.

Sabine Löcherbach

is intuitive and attentive. Quiet and loud. Full of power and dedicated to delicacy. After years in structured environments and the feeling of failure and "not being able to do it anymore", life has led her on the path of healing and truth. She was a seeker, a learner and so, piece by piece, she gathered her life back together and found herself, clarity and hope. She found her purpose in Kundalini activation - a deep reconnection to her inner power where energy is allowed to flow freely. On 26 August on the FAIL IN LOVE NIGHTS stage, she will tell you Sabine's personal story behind her search for healing (trigger warning: it's about experiences of abuse), what Kundalini activation means and how it has helped Sabine to recognize her own limits and learn to set higher standards in relationships."

Thomas P. Kusch

After more than 30 years in the telecommunications industry (first as an engineer, later as a manager), Thomas P. Kusch decided to make a fresh start and founded the institute "Les papillons bleus" in Bonn in 2020. As a life and business mentor and expert on anxiety, panic attacks and burnout, he helps people to lead an anxiety-free, meaningful, self-determined and, above all, self-confident life. From his daily work as a couples therapist, among other things, he knows: "Your thoughts and your feelings become your reality!" ... and so - whether you do it consciously or not - you continuously create your reality. Yes then, ... start to think and feel CONSCIOUSLY... and of course to communicate consciously and non-violently. He shares his experience in lectures and keynotes. At FAIL IN LOVE NIGHT, the 60-year-old father of four explains how each of us can become the "creator:in your reality" ... and of course also the creator:in your dream partnership!

As a "little gift" after his talk, Thomas offers each listener a cool tool for determining their own position, which is the beginning of every journey to a new beginning.
