TESTIMONIALS
"I really loved the vulnerability of sharing, the real, the raw, and how we got to look at shameful things we usually hide away from. It was so powerful having that out in the open. It also makes me feel more comfortable to share my Fuckups."
Miranda Marriott
"Put away Ted Talks because Fuckup Nights is actually unbelievable. It's going to be revolutionary. We don't usually get to hear the mistakes. I loved tonight and I will definitely be coming back."

💥 What Are FCK UP Nights?
Born in Mexico City in 2012 over a bottle of mezcal, FCK UP Nights is now a global movement celebrating the stories behind failures.
At every event, speakers share their biggest professional blunders — a failed startup, a job that imploded, or a bold risk that didn’t land.
The goal?
To break the shame around failure, learn from each other’s mistakes, and create a culture where falling down is just part of rising up
OUR COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
Fuckup Nights Melbourne is more than an event—it’s a courageous and heart-led connection space for healing, transformation, education, inspiration, and entertainment.
✨ All Are Welcome
We celebrate people of all backgrounds and experiences. Whatever your political or world views, you are welcome here, with the shared intention of creating a courageous space for radical, raw storytelling about our business fuckups.
✨ Authenticity & Respect
This is a space for courageous self-expression, not for gossip. We come together to see ourselves in each other’s stories, learn from our mistakes, and connect through our shared humanity.
✨ Connection & Networking
Alongside the storytelling, this is a place to share your passions, purpose, and projects, and to meet like-minded people who value authenticity and growth. Feel free to bring your business cards and flyers along to share on our promo table.
✨ Sober & Suitable For 16+
At Fuckup Nights Melbourne we have chosen to have our events be a sober experience so we can focus on deep connection & authenticity. With the nature of the content we recommend it for 16+
✨ Legal Fuckups / Respect Of Privacy
At Fuckup Nights Melbourne we choose to only share stories that are legal and do not have our speakers share other people's brands and names if it may cause harm.
We know there is always more than one side of a story.
We honour that at times it is necessary for people & brands to be called out publicly, however in this space we are inviting the speaker to share more about their own fuckup and where they can take responsibility.

Fuckup Nights Melbourne acknowledges the Wurundjeri people of the Kulin Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land our event takes place, and we pay our respects to Elders past, present & emerging.
