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

At Le Rideau Rouge: a front-row seat to a sharp, joyous battle of the sexes

From our stage at Le Rideau Rouge, we love nothing more than hosting a show that turns everyday life into irresistible, live-wire comedy. That is exactly what happens with Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort, a crowd-pleasing hit that plays with the eternal negotiations of love, compromise, and cohabitation. Watching it in our intimate room heightens every wink, every aside, and every burst of laughter: you feel the pulse of the performers, you catch the sly looks, you become part of the back-and-forth. The piece thrives on pace and precision—dialogue that ricochets, situations that escalate with delicious inevitability—and our close configuration amplifies that chemistry. Whether you come as a couple, as a group of friends, or with your colleagues, you will recognize yourselves in the kitchen stalemates, the car-ride debates, and the bedtime diplomacy that the performers gleefully re-enact. At Le Rideau Rouge, we shape the conditions for this connection: crisp sound, warm lights, and that unmistakable Lyonnais audience energy that pushes the artists to dig deeper and play freer with each punchline.

Current artistic momentum and a refreshed edition, tailor-made for Lyon

We are welcoming this run at a moment when the creative team behind the show is buzzing with new material and renewed momentum. In the past months, they have tightened the screws on timing, added topical angles drawn from dating apps, remote work, and life-hacks gone wrong, and folded in web-friendly beats that have been winning over new audiences across France. If you have caught their recent short-form sketches online, you might recognize the spirit of pieces like “Le guide de survie du dîner de famille,” “Match et désaccord,” and “La réunion de couple,” now expanded and sharpened for the stage. The latest version also revives fan-favorite situations—yes, “L’IKEA test” returns—with unexpected twists, taking familiar couple clichés and flipping them to expose our pretenses with affectionate mischief. This artistic refresh suits our room perfectly: the performers can lean into improvisation, ping the audience for playful complicity, and modulate the pace so that the punchlines land with precision. From our vantage, it is a thrill to present comedians who are not only touring a hit but actively evolving it—tuning timing, layering callbacks, and using Lyon’s quick wit as a creative catalyst night after night.

Programming the show at Le Rideau Rouge also lets us stage the piece the way it deserves to be experienced: up close, with impeccable sightlines and an atmosphere that nurtures shared laughter. The performers relish this proximity; they shape the rhythm of an evening by reading the room, folding the front rows into their mock “tribunal,” and letting a single raised eyebrow trigger a wave of knowing chuckles. Our team has designed lighting states that sketch out kitchens, living rooms, and late-night corridors in a few elegant strokes, while sound cues punctuate the quips like a drummer’s rimshot. The result is a brisk, cinematic flow that keeps the audience leaning forward, eager for the next reversal. We are proud to host a show that speaks fluently to first dates and long marriages alike, that makes room for generous improvisation without losing dramaturgical snap, and that invites Lyon to laugh at itself with grace. If domestic diplomacy is an art, then consider our stage the gallery: here, routines become little masterworks of timing, micro-gestures become revelations, and the timeless duel of “who’s right, who’s wrong” turns into an evening where everyone goes home victorious—with sore cheeks and a story to share.
