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

At Le Rideau Rouge: welcoming Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort

At Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we are thrilled to host Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a sparkling, fast-paced comedy that turns the everyday negotiations of couple life into a riot of punchlines, razor-sharp timing, and joyful audience complicity. Our intimate room, fine-tuned for spoken-word clarity and quick-change staging, is the perfect match for a show that thrives on rapid banter, sly call-backs, and visual gags. From the moment the lights dim, our team sets a fluid rhythm—precise cues, crisp sound, and a warm, up-close atmosphere—so every aside and double take lands with full comic effect. The production revels in contrasts: he said/she said set-pieces, mock-solemn “rules of love,” and playful reversals where all certainties topple and the crowd gets to recognize itself. Expect interactive sparks, a whirlwind of couple clichés cheerfully dismantled, and a generous acting style that makes the fourth wall feel optional. Here, the laughter is communal, the pace exhilarating, and the craft of live comedy takes center stage.

Artistic momentum: new laughs from a proven comedy powerhouse

Behind this hit lies a creative lineage that has filled theaters across France with modern boulevard energy. The authorship associated with titles like Libéréeee Divorcéeee and Chéri, on se dit tout! has shaped a recognizable signature: brisk writing, situational fireworks, and a tender irony that never loses sight of the tenderness beneath the teasing. That spirit is very much alive on our stage, with a direction that favors agility—snap transitions, precise beats, and a playful rapport with the audience—while the performers ride a wave of contemporary references, from texting etiquette to kitchen-table diplomacy. Comedy fans will recognize the DNA of recent sketch culture as well, the kind you see honed in showcases and broadcast formats that have kept French humor buzzing—think the sharp, compact timing celebrated at Montreux Comedy and the sketch-driven momentum popularized on On n’demande qu’à en rire. Built on that living repertoire of forms and rhythms, Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort arrives at Le Rideau Rouge as a crowd-pleaser that also respects the intelligence of its viewers.

Our programming team values artists who bring fresh material and a generous presence to the room, and this show meets that brief with style. Structurally, it moves like a series of high-impact tableaux—mini “cases” in the eternal trial of couplehood—yet it never feels fragmented, thanks to running jokes and a mischievous sense of escalation. Each scene is calibrated for our space: close enough to catch a raised eyebrow, bold enough to carry a big laugh to the back row. The performers weave in playful audience addresses without derailing the story, and the writing keeps surprising with reversals that delight both rom-com enthusiasts and wry skeptics. For Lyon spectators who cherish the convivial spirit of Le Rideau Rouge, this is an ideal evening: a smart, generous comedy that lands its truths lightly, celebrates the ping-pong of differences, and proves—once again—that when the jokes are this well built, everyone wins. We are proud to present it here, in a room designed for the living pulse of laughter.
