About Frank Deuring
After seven years, three hundred performances and a theatre tour, Frank Deuring (1985) retired as a stand-up comedian in 2013.
The stretch was gone and the fun was gone. That’s why Frank was ready for something new: the Failure Factory.
He immersed himself maniacally in learning from mistakes and has already inspired thousands of people with his masterclasses.
His book SuperFalen was published on June 1, 2022 through Boom Publishers. This book was at #1 in the Management Book Top 100 for 14 days. Frank was also interviewed by media such as the FD, the AD, the Volkskrant and Radio 1.
