Yahoo is debuting Failure Club, a new web series produced by Morgan Spurlock’s Warrior Poets based on the original Failure Club created by Philip Kiracofe & Gunil Chung in 2004.
As in the real-world Failure Club, the seven participants in the docudrama meet every two weeks for a year to help each other achieve the things they’d otherwise never dare to do. The members ar
- Gina – Her goal is to win a blue ribbon in an equestrian jumping competition – within 1 year
- Meg – Her goal is to perform a live stand-up comedy routine for an audience of 200 – within 1 year
- Liz – Her goal is to start a Handyman referral business with 10,000 customers – within 1 year
- Eric – His goal is to build a custom motorcycle and lead across-country ride in honor of his dad – within 1 year
- Elizabeth – Her goal is to write a new Christmas song that becomes a top ten seller on iTunes – within 1 year
- Ignacio – His goal is to launch a men’s haberdashery and a new designer line for men – within 1 year
- Jess – Her goal is to launch a catering business and land 100 clients – within 1 year
Success is far from guaranteed, and there will be many, many failures along the way. Join them on their journey

Meg- stop thinking so much. When it comes to a joke, what is the first smart-alek no-holds-barred remark that YOU would make to someone making a snide comment to you? Reverse the roles- put yourself in the shoes of an audience member. Also, look everyone right in the eyes- nothing shows confidence and interest more than this! Then- keep going. Never back down and never give up. A Theatre professor always told me, stop worrying and just do it, do whatever first comes to mind, period. Worry and you lose the moment and the momentum!
