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.

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.
