Jamais Le Deuxième Soir - Le Rideau Rouge - Lyon

Le Rideau Rouge welcomes Jamais le deuxième soir

From our stage at Le Rideau Rouge, we are delighted to host Jamais le deuxième soir, a vivacious comedy that thrives on the intimacy, warmth, and immediacy our red-curtained room was built to offer. Our audience in Lyon loves quick-fire repartee, and this production supplies it in abundance: razor-sharp dialogue, a cascade of misunderstandings, and a playful dive into the irresistible “rules” of modern romance. The premise is deliciously simple to grasp and endlessly fun to watch unfold, making it perfect for a weeknight escape or a weekend outing with friends. We’ve tuned our sound and lighting to enhance the show’s rhythm—close, lively, and personal—so that every aside, gasp, and comeback reaches the last row with the same sparkle as the front. In our space, where performers can read every smile and double-take, the comedic chain reactions that power Jamais le deuxième soir become electric, and the audience becomes part of the game without ever leaving their seats.

Artistic news and touring momentum

This season, the team behind Jamais le deuxième soir arrives in Lyon in fine form, buoyed by a national run that has sharpened timing, tightened transitions, and refreshed the script with new winks to app-driven dating, office debriefs, and the perils of mixed signals. The production’s pace has been carefully calibrated; act-to-act escalations click together like clockwork, with physical comedy beats that land precisely because they’re played at human scale. In a comedy landscape buzzing with recent TV sensations such as LOL: Qui rit, sort! and Le Maître du Jeu, the show embraces a similarly playful spirit—competitive, mischievous, and surprising—while remaining wholeheartedly theatrical. Fans who relish sketch energy will feel right at home as the performers stack set-pieces the team affectionately dubs “Le brunch des copines,” “Le SMS à froid,” and “De droite à gauche,” threading them with boulevard verve and the kind of reveals that provoke those shared bursts of laughter we love to hear ripple across our rows.

At Le Rideau Rouge, we lean into the show’s physicality and conversational spark by sculpting an atmosphere where every beat breathes: warm wash lights for conspiratorial huddles, crisp handhelds for overlapping banter, and nimble musical stings that punctuate the running jokes. The cast navigates our stage like a chessboard of comic possibilities—sofa, doorframe, phone, and purse become props in a dance of half-truths and confessions. Expect recurring bits that the audience will remember by heart—“Le date minute,” “Le guide de la copine organisée,” or that 2 a.m. message that should have stayed in drafts—each played with the elasticity and generosity that our room rewards. As hosts, we cherish how Jamais le deuxième soir turns everyday situations into theatrical fireworks: the friend who counsels caution (then contradicts herself), the partner who tries to keep a straight face, the stranger who arrives at the worst possible moment. The laughter is big, but the stakes feel personal, and that is the sweet spot for comedy at Le Rideau Rouge. Whether you join us as a couple, a group of friends, or a solo spectator, you’ll find a house ready for your chuckles, gasps, and knowing glances as Jamais le deuxième soir lights up the night in Lyon.
