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

At Le Rideau Rouge: a sparkling evening of wit and razor-sharp rapport

At Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we are delighted to welcome audiences to Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a crowd-pleasing stage comedy that turns the everyday negotiations of love into a mischievous art form. From our vantage point, what makes this production sing is the rhythm: brisk exchanges, perfectly timed reversals, and an irresistible parade of situations that feel both larger-than-life and close to home. The stagecraft is nimble—light cues and sound punctuations land like punchlines, while the performers pivot through perspectives with the confidence of seasoned pros. Whether you come as a couple, with friends, or solo, the show’s playful he-said/she-said mechanics invite you to recognize yourself, laugh at it, then laugh again. Our room’s intimate scale amplifies the fun; you catch a raised eyebrow, a conspiratorial whisper, a silent beat of bad faith yielding to good humor. Even the moments of audience interplay are handled with tact and generosity, ensuring the spotlight always serves the joke, never at anyone’s expense.

Artistic momentum and what’s new on the bill

We’ve programmed Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort at a moment when its creative team is buzzing with fresh material and renewed energy. This season brings sharpened scenes and new slices of life, folded into a show that already thrives on relatable predicaments. Regulars of contemporary comedy will appreciate how the evening now threads in crisp, self-contained set-pieces—sketches such as “Le Débat de la Télécommande,” “La Théorie des SMS,” “Guide de Survie au Dîner de Famille,” and “Le Budget du Couple,” each a miniature battlefield where logic, desire, and pride jostle for victory. Online, teasers built around motifs like “le quiz de la mauvaise foi” and “notice de montage des sentiments” have stoked anticipation for this Le Rideau Rouge run, while the onstage version expands those ideas with physical comedy, call-and-response cadences, and a talent for turning a single throwaway line into a rolling laugh. The pace is mercurial yet controlled, the writing crisp yet flexible—so that topical nods (from group chats to calendar invites) feel organic, never forced. For us as a venue, it’s a joy to host a production that refreshes itself while keeping its heart intact: a love letter to imperfection, written in punchlines.

From the first welcome at the door to the last ripple of laughter, Le Rideau Rouge is designed to bring audiences close to the craft of live comedy. Our technical team frames the performers with warm, precise lighting and sound that keeps every word clear and every reaction audible; subtle musical bumpers and quick blackouts give the evening a cinematic flow. In this space, a change of posture reads like a plot twist, and a glance into the crowd becomes a shared secret. Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort particularly benefits from this intimacy: a throwaway aside can turn into the night’s biggest laugh, and recurring motifs—like the forensic analysis of a text message, the slow-motion peril of choosing a restaurant, or the delicate art of apologizing without admitting defeat—build an almost conspiratorial bond with the room. For our Lyon audience, the result is an experience both polished and spontaneous, where each performance breathes with the audience’s rhythm and where the city’s appetite for sharp, generous humor finds a perfect home.
