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

Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort at Le Rideau Rouge

From our stage at Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we love nothing more than welcoming a show that turns everyday life into sparkling theatre, and Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort does exactly that. In our intimate room, where the red curtain practically breathes with the performers, the chemistry of this battle-of-the-sexes comedy lands with maximum precision: quick-fire lines, playful contradictions, and a sense that the audience is part of the joke. The production moves nimbly between modern couple banter and classic boulevard energy, and our acoustics make every aside, whisper, and punchline carry beautifully to the last row. We’ve tailored the lighting and spacing to support the performers’ pace: when the dialogue accelerates into a verbal ping-pong, you can see the smallest facial shift, and when the mood pivots toward tenderness, the room softens around them. At Le Rideau Rouge, we curate shows for their stagecraft as much as for their laughs, and this one fits our house like a glove.

Current artistic momentum around the show

Part of the delight for us, as a venue, is presenting a production that feels firmly of the moment. Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort has been evolving with the times: new scenes lean into the language of dating apps, remote work, and the “charge mentale,” while the direction keeps the staging crisp and the timing razor-sharp. The humor resonates with audiences who follow contemporary francophone comedy on screen and online; expect the same rhythmic snap and agile writing you associate with platforms and programs such as Montreux Comedy, Jamel Comedy Club, Culturebox, and Rire & Chansons. From our vantage point backstage, we see how much care goes into refreshing the beats from one season to the next: callbacks are tighter, transitions have been polished, and crowd interplay has been shaped so that each night feels tailor-made. It is precisely this living, current quality—the ability to speak to today’s couples and friends—that makes the show a natural fit for our programming in Lyon.

Our audience at Le Rideau Rouge tells us they come for the full experience: a warm welcome, relaxed seating, and a show that leaves them buzzing afterward. This title delivers that communal feeling in spades. The performers’ rapport thrives in our room’s closeness: when a mischievous aside ricochets from stage to seats and back again, you can feel the laughter ripple around you. We love how the text balances generosity and mischief—nodding to stereotypes just enough to recognize them, then nudging them into something more surprising. The production’s design is brisk and clever, which lets the actors keep the energy high while changing pace for moments of complicity. As a venue, we’ve calibrated the evening so that you arrive, settle, and are drawn in without fuss, with staff on hand to guide you quickly to your place. Whether you’re planning a friends’ night out or a couples’ date, Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort at Le Rideau Rouge is the kind of sharp, contemporary comedy our Lyon audiences love to share live.
