Faites l'Amour, pas des Gosses at Le Rideau Rouge

From our stage at Le Rideau Rouge, we are delighted to welcome the riotous romantic whirlwind that is Faites l'Amour, pas des Gosses, a crowd-pleasing comedy that turns everyday couple life into a high-velocity cascade of punchlines. In our intimate red-curtained room, the piece thrives on proximity: you catch the twinkle in an actor’s eye, the quick aside tossed to the front row, the sly pause that sets off a wave of laughter across the room. As hosts, we’ve tailored the light and sound to keep the rhythm sharp and the exchanges crystal-clear, so every change of mood—from newfound passion to sleep-deprived bickering—lands with maximum comic effect. On this page, you’ll find the production that has charmed audiences by turning diapers, date nights, and “we need to talk” moments into theatrical fireworks. Expect a slick boulevard tempo, physical humor you can feel from your seat, and a cascade of situations so recognizable that couples nudge each other throughout the show.

Onstage now: a touring success, refreshed for Lyon

What excites us most about welcoming Faites l'Amour, pas des Gosses is the show’s living energy. The creative team arrives in Lyon with a refreshed pace and subtle new beats shaped by packed houses across France, and our stage team at Le Rideau Rouge works closely with the actors to keep the comic engine humming. The result is a version tailored to our room’s acoustics and intimacy, bringing out the piece’s hallmark contrasts: euphoric beginnings, baby-induced shock, rediscovered tenderness, and the slow-burn negotiations every couple knows too well. The writing combines razor one-liners with situational snowballs, the kind that start from a tiny misunderstanding and grow into an avalanche of laugh-out-loud chaos. If you’re drawn to contemporary French comedy, you’ll feel right at home with the show’s spirit—kin to the quick-witted tone audiences love in On n’demande qu’à en rire, the playful challenges of LOL: Qui rit, sort!, and the buoyant energy of Vendredi tout est permis. You don’t need to be a parent to see yourself on stage; the nightly ovations at Le Rideau Rouge suggest the stories land across generations, from new couples to seasoned partners sitting shoulder to shoulder, giggling at the very same punchlines for very different reasons.

In the wings, we’ve seen how the performers keep the material vibrant by playing with rhythm and audience reaction—an approach that makes each performance at Le Rideau Rouge slightly unique. Our technical crew leans into those quick pivots: a tighter blackout to cap a joke, a light shift that frames a conspiratorial glance, a sound cue that underscores an awkward silence. It’s artisan work in service of an exuberant comedy, and it’s part of why this run is a highlight of our Lyon programming. For spectators, the experience begins before curtain: our team guides you to seats that keep you close to the action, and the room’s design ensures every glance and rejoinder carries. Whether you arrive as a couple or with a lively group of friends, be ready for playful audience echoes—gasps, knowing laughs, and surprised claps—because Faites l'Amour, pas des Gosses turns everyday truth into shared theater. We’re proud to host this touring hit at Le Rideau Rouge and to offer a setting where its cheeky, big-hearted vision of modern love can ring out with all the warmth, mischief, and momentum it deserves.
