Your client's best story isn't the highlight reel. It's how they got there.
Funny in Failure invites comedians, writers, voice actors, actors, sports athletes, directors, content creators, show creators, authors and musicians to talk honestly about the setbacks behind their success. It is warm, funny and disarming, and it makes your client look like the most human person in the room.
A warm room where vulnerability becomes the best story in the building.
Our mission is to normalise failure as a necessary part of the road to success, removing the stigma that stops people taking risks. It is wholesome, funny and genuinely inspiring, and it makes your client look thoughtful, generous and human.
To the publicists, managers and agents reading this,
Funny in Failure is a kind, genuinely funny conversation about the moments that did not go to plan, and what came next. I do my homework, I follow my guest's lead, and I make sure they feel relaxed, look brilliant and leave glad they came.
Three hundred and forty conversations in, the people you recognise from The Simpsons, Severance and Better Call Saul have trusted me with their stories. I would love to look after yours too.
