C'est Décidé, Je Deviens Une Connasse - Le Rideau Rouge - Lyon

C’est décidé je deviens une connasse at Le Rideau Rouge: a night of razor-sharp comedy in Lyon

We are thrilled to welcome C’est décidé je deviens une connasse to the intimate stage of Le Rideau Rouge, our home for bold voices and spirited audiences in Lyon. From the vantage point of our theatre seats, this one-person show thrives on closeness: the performer plays with eye contact, throwaway asides, and a rhythm that feeds on the room’s laughter, making every performance feel uniquely alive. The premise—embracing unapologetic frankness as a superpower—lands with bite and warmth in equal measure, letting viewers recognize themselves in the hilarious tangle of modern life: office politics, family obligations, friendships under pressure, and the messy path to self-respect. Minimal set pieces keep the focus squarely on craft: tight writing, clean physicality, and deceptively precise timing. At Le Rideau Rouge, we prize shows that are both entertaining and thoughtfully constructed; this one fits that profile, moving from observational jabs to character-driven flourishes with a finesse that rewards attentive listeners and first-time comedy fans alike.

From our stage to the city: energy, timing, and the pleasure of being unapologetic

What stands out in the current iteration presented at Le Rideau Rouge is how confidently the material balances bite with charm. The artist leans into contradictions—wanting to please yet refusing to bend, craving calm while lighting verbal fireworks—then turns those contradictions into punchlines that keep the crowd slightly off-balance and fully engaged. Expect quick pivots between deadpan confession and exuberant physical comedy, the kind of tonal whiplash that plays particularly well in our room’s close quarters. We’ve seen how the audience’s hush before a barb and the explosion after a well-sprung callback can reshape the air in the theatre; it’s a reminder that comedy is live art, felt in real time. Around this show’s arrival, the artist’s current creative momentum is palpable: the material feels freshly honed, responsive to the zeitgeist, and attuned to daily micro-battles everyone recognizes—overwork, dating misfires, unwanted advice, and the invention of new boundaries that are imperfect but necessary. That contemporaneity is a hallmark of the season here: stories retold with a sharper edge, characters sketched with a more confident hand, and a performer relishing the give-and-take with Lyon’s audiences.

At Le Rideau Rouge, we program comedy for its capacity to pull strangers together into a single laugh, and C’est décidé je deviens une connasse has that rare crowd-binding precision. You feel it in the way the room settles when the performer sets up a scene, then surges as the punchline reframes everything you thought you heard a beat earlier. The show’s architecture reveals itself slowly: motifs recur, offhand remarks become running gags, and the final stretches reward attention with carefully layered payoffs. Because our venue is intimate, the smallest gestures register—a raised eyebrow, a breath before the sting, a deliberate pause that makes the release even sweeter. If you’re joining us for the first time, know that the experience here is close, convivial, and proudly theatrical: an artist at full tilt, a crowd leaning forward, and a stage designed to keep the performer within arm’s reach. For regulars, this engagement is a chance to watch a voice sharpen in real time, to hear familiar themes turned inside out, and to revel in the delicious spectacle of choosing to be just a little bit “too much”—with style, with humor, and with the kind of candor that keeps the laughter rolling all the way out onto the Lyon night.
