When failure suddenly fills large halls
On Thursday, November 26, 2026, the BORA Duisburg will become a stage for stories that usually prefer to stay under the carpet: At the FUCKUP NIGHT, successful entrepreneurs share professional mistakes, setbacks, and decisions that turned out to be quite costly. The result is an unusual laughter experience between lecture, discussion, and networking.
Stand-up of a different kind: real stories instead of glossy facades
Here, there are no polished success statements and no business bingo with tie requirements. Instead, people take the stage who have experienced how quickly a big plan can crash. Their stories connect personal insights, surprising twists, and the liberating humor that arises when you can talk about mistakes without holding back.
Punchlines between million-dollar mistakes and two drinks
The FUCKUP NIGHT thrives on timing, audience reaction, and honest interaction. Million-dollar mistakes become insights, anecdotes, and topics of conversation on stage. For 9 euros, visitors receive several talks, a Q&A session, and subsequent networking – that is, insights from years, nerves, and sleepless nights for the price of two drinks.
Comedy atmosphere in BORA Duisburg
Doors open at 6:30 PM, talks begin at 7:00 PM. The official program lasts about 100 minutes; afterward, the bar remains open as long as the conversations continue. The BORA at Dellplatz offers a suitable setting for this evening between cabaret, business talk, and real Ruhrpott proximity with its stage, cocktail bar, modern event technology, good acoustics, and industrial look.
For founders, the curious, and everyone with their own missteps
No prior knowledge is required. The talks are aimed at entrepreneurs, those interested in starting a business, professionals, and anyone who has ever had a plan that looked better on paper. Even those who come alone will quickly find connections: The format gets people talking – at least at the bar.
Conclusion: An evening that inspires courage and remains memorable
The FUCKUP NIGHT Duisburg promises no perfect success story, but an honest laughter experience with strong stories, surprising punchlines, and valuable insights. Those who want to learn why failing can sometimes be the most interesting part of a career should experience the evening live at BORA.
