Funny in Failure is an independent podcast hosted by Australian comedian and screenwriter, Michael Kahan. Each week Michael chats with funny and successful people around the world to discuss their career, life and some of the challenges they’ve faced on their journey to success.

Our mission is to normalise the concept of failure and promote it as a necessity on the road to success. Unfortunately, the stigma of failure persists which deters individuals from following their passion, trying something new and taking risks. We are on a mission to change this!

You don’t need to be a comedy lover to enjoy, laugh or relate. The podcast aims to create deep and meaningful conversations interspersed with humour to shed light on taboo subjects to show that it is normal, while empowering and encouraging you to take the next leap forward in your life… but without that “self-help” vibe.

You might recognise some of our guests from  TV Shows such as; Avatar the Last Airbender, Better Call Saul, Brooklyn nine-nine, Chicago Fire, Children’s Hospital, Community, Criminal Minds, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Desperate Housewives, Fallout, Futurama, Gilmore Girls, Hart of Dixie, House, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Just Shoot Me!, Mom, Monk, Mythic Quest, Prison Break, Rick & Morty, Schitt’s Creek, Seinfeld, Severance, Silicon Valley, Star Trek Picard, Star Wars franchise, Super Store, The Big Bang Theory, The Goldbergs, The Kids in the Hall, The League, The Mandalorian, The Mentalist, The Nanny, The Office, The Righteous Gemstone, The Simpsons, The Walking Dead, Transparent, Two and a Half Men and Whose Line is it Anyway?

Meaningful and insightful conversations interspersed with humour. Expect to learn, laugh and occasionally cry. Ok that’s a bit cliché, but have a listen to the podcast and find out for yourself.

Our mission

I hope to use this platform to normalise and encourage the discussion of failure, particularly through the lens of the comedy industry, to show that it is merely a step on the road to success.

Why humour?

Well nothing is better than humour at normalising a situation. Having fun conversations with comedians is a fantastic way to engage with the audience and have a meaningful impact.
