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

At Le Rideau Rouge, a sharp-eyed look at love and contradictions

At Le Rideau Rouge, we are delighted to welcome the hit comedy Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a crowd-pleasing rollercoaster that thrives on proximity, pace, and the electricity of a room that breathes with the performers. Our intimate Lyon stage favors quick-fire banter and expressive physical comedy: every raised eyebrow, every whispered aside, and every split-second comeback lands with precision in the warm glow of our lights. From the moment the house opens, you can feel couples, groups of friends, and after-work regulars leaning forward, ready to be gently roasted by a show that treats everyday contradictions with affection rather than cynicism. The piece slides nimbly between sketch, stand-up, and a pinch of improvisation, building a living conversation with the audience. The staging is lean by design, allowing rhythm and writing to take the lead, and our sound and sightlines seal the deal: punchlines travel cleanly, running gags ripple from the first rows to the back, and the laughter loops back to the stage to fuel the next salvo.

What excites us most this season is how current the material feels without ever losing its timeless core. The creative team behind the show keeps the writing agile, folding fresh observations about messaging apps, love languages, and family logistics into the timeless battle-of-wits that animates relationships. You’ll hear playful nods to recent fixtures of French pop culture and TV—expect topical winks at LOL: Qui rit, sort !, Quotidien, and Mariés au premier regard—woven into universal situations that everyone recognizes. The performance at Le Rideau Rouge leans into recurring set pieces audiences adore in this repertoire: think a tongue-in-cheek “mode d’emploi du couple,” a gleefully off-kilter “GPS sentimental,” or even a mock “procès du dimanche soir” where chores, calendars, and bruised egos take the stand. Because our room allows spontaneous banter to sparkle, the artists can calibrate their tempo night after night, riffing with spectators in the first rows, taking the pulse of the crowd, and turning local references—those Lyonnais commutes, the siren call of bouchons, the storied steps of la Croix-Rousse—into sly asides. This living, breathing quality is the show’s artistic news in itself: a repertoire that evolves, reflects our times, and stays irresistibly funny.

Your evening with us at Le Rideau Rouge

From the venue side, we shape the evening around clarity, comfort, and momentum so the comedy can take flight. Doors open with time to settle in, grab a drink, and catch the pre-show buzz; once the lights dip, the stage becomes a magnifying glass for the foibles of modern love. Our engineers fine-tune the mix so breathy confidences and full-throated arguments carry equally well, and the lighting traces the arc from conspiratorial whisper to gloriously bad idea. The result is a vivid, convivial atmosphere in which Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort can show its full range: quick changes of mood, musicality in the dialogue, and that delicious feeling of recognition when a joke mirrors something you said last week. For regulars who follow contemporary comedy, you’ll appreciate how the show keeps pace with what you binge and browse—those viral couples’ challenges, mock tutorials, and slice-of-life skits that dominate feeds—while retaining the craftsmanship of theatre. For newcomers, it’s a perfect gateway: generous, accessible, and tight as a drum. Our team at Le Rideau Rouge loves hosting work that connects so directly with audiences, and we look forward to seeing the room light up again as this production continues its Lyon run, night after night, with the joyful certainty that somewhere between a raised eyebrow and a heartfelt apology, laughter has the last word.
