About us
Welcome to Fuckup Nights Brisbane!
We’re a storytelling-driven gathering that shines a light on the mistakes, failures, and fuckups that shape both our personal lives and professional careers—reminding us that, at the end of the day, we’re all human.
Born in Mexico in 2012, Fuckup Nights has grown into a global movement where people openly share their biggest failures with audiences around the world. Each month, 3–4 speakers take the stage to tell their stories—what went wrong, what they learned, and how they moved forward—offering real lessons and advice along the way.
In just 10 minutes, each speaker will share:
✨ What their project or business was
✨ How it all went wrong
✨ The impact on their personal life, what they learned, and what they’d do differently if they could go back
After each story, you’ll have the chance to ask questions—keep it curious (not too cheeky 😉) and dig into the lessons that matter most.
You’ll hear raw, honest advice you won’t get anywhere else—and maybe even avoid making the same fuckups yourself.
