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

Le Rideau Rouge presents Les Femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort

At Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we love nights when the room starts laughing before the lights even dim. That is the spirit surrounding Les Femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a crowd-pleasing comedy that turns the timeless battle of wits between women and men into a fast, sparkling exchange of punchlines. From our vantage point as hosts, we see couples, groups of friends, and solo comedy fans take their seats with the same eager expectation: a lively, modern take on everyday love, misunderstandings, and those household negotiations everyone knows too well. Our intimate stage draws the performers close to the audience, amplifying the immediacy of each comeback and the joy of shared laughter. The set-up is quick, the rhythm crisp, and the energy electric; every seat has a clear view of expressions and timing that make the difference between a smile and an uncontrollable laugh.

What delights us most about programming Les Femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort is the finesse of the writing and its contemporary pulse. The show plays with clichés only to deconstruct them, transforming familiar situations—text messages that go unanswered, the tiny dramas of a weekend away, the way a single word can mean ten different things—into moments of theatrical agility. Without spoiling the surprises, the piece thrives on contrast and complicity: the big declarations and the small silences, the logical argument that collapses under a look, the admitted weakness that somehow wins the point. The production lands especially well in our room because its humor is both generous and precise; our technical team works with the artists to keep timing sharp, transitions fluid, and the sound mix nimble enough to capture every aside. The result is a bright, human evening that speaks to Lyonnais sensibilities while embracing universal truths about relationships.
