Les Femmes Ont Toujours Raison, Les Hommes N'ont Jamais Tort ! - Le Rideau Rouge (lyon)

At Le Rideau Rouge, Lyon: Welcoming Les Femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort

From our stage at Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we welcome audiences to discover Les Femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a crowd-pleasing firecracker that channels the best of contemporary French comedy. Our intimate room was built for this kind of fast-paced, witty back-and-forth: the performers ricochet off each other with razor timing, the punchlines land with a ripple of laughter that travels from the first row to the balcony, and the playful battles-of-the-sexes theme becomes a shared game between stage and audience. Expect observational humor rooted in everyday couple life—those micro-moments about phones at dinner, the logic of “I’m fine,” the art of apology negotiations—delivered with the kind of physical flair and improvisational spark that our Lyon public loves. The staging is brisk and elegant: minimal props, quick shifts, and lighting cues that frame each verbal duel like a series of agile rounds. At Le Rideau Rouge, we aim for clear sightlines, crisp sound, and a warm, convivial atmosphere; this show lives beautifully in that setting, transforming our venue into a tangible arena for laughter and recognition.

A current pulse on comedy: what’s new around the artists and on our stage

What makes this season special is how sharply the writing captures the tone of now. The creators behind this production lean into fresh topics—social media friction, blended-family diplomacy, the etiquette of group chats—while embracing classic vaudeville mechanics and modern stand-up rhythms. We see that blend reflected in the broader scene that inspires our public: the quick-hit competitiveness of LOL: Qui rit, sort!, the big-stage energy of Marrakech du Rire, and the precision timing celebrated at Montreux Comedy Festival. Audiences arrive primed for bold, contemporary jokes, and this piece answers with a precise mix of sketch-style set pieces and nimble crowd interaction. On our side, we’ve tuned the room to let the smallest throwaway line travel: subtle reactions, looks, and under-the-breath comebacks matter in a show like this, and Le Rideau Rouge’s acoustics help those moments bloom. The result is a theatrical comedy that reads like a living conversation—tight enough to be theatrical, elastic enough to feel spontaneously shared, with topical references that keep the material evolving from one performance to the next.

We’re also seeing the momentum build performance after performance: laughter patterns change, certain exchanges become fan favorites, and recurring bits are greeted with the joyful anticipation that only a live room can generate. The cast’s chemistry invites the audience to lean in, whether they recognize themselves as a couple, as friends dissecting love politics, or as solo comedy lovers enjoying a smartly choreographed clash of perspectives. Because Le Rideau Rouge sits at the crossroads of Lyon’s lively cultural habits—after-work meetups, late-evening dinners, weekend escapes—the show naturally becomes a social ritual: arrive a touch early, grab a drink, settle into the red-velvet glow, and let the rhythm of quips and rejoinders carry you. We take care with pacing and comfort, from welcoming staff to well-timed intermissions (when scheduled), so the night’s arc never loses steam. Les Femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort thrives on that shared energy; the text has crisp structure, the performers have playful freedom, and our stage provides the frame that keeps everything clear, dynamic, and irresistibly fun for Lyon’s comedy-loving crowd.
