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 are delighted to welcome the effervescent comedy Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort, a crowd-pleasing hit that thrives on the intimacy of our room and the electricity of live laughter. The show’s premise—a brilliantly observed round of negotiations between the sexes—finds its perfect home beneath our red curtains, where the proximity between performers and audience heightens every look, punchline, and playful aside. You feel the rhythm of the dialogue like a heartbeat: quick, generous, precise. One moment unspools relatable everyday chaos—smartphones buzzing, domestic logistics, the mental load—and the next pivots into physical comedy and sly improvisation. It is an evening of high spirits and sparkling repartee, crafted to charm first dates and longtime couples alike, but just as rewarding for groups of friends seeking an energetic, contemporary comedy on a Lyon night out. The writing leans into modern life with warmth rather than cynicism, and the staging makes a virtue of our venue’s scale: timing becomes a dance, glances are micro-jokes, and audience laughter becomes part of the score.

Artistic momentum, fresh scenes, and a playful, up-to-date tone

What makes this run at Le Rideau Rouge especially exciting is the show’s current momentum and its refreshed material. The creative team arrives with a renewed appetite, tightening transitions, enriching character beats, and weaving in topical threads—dating apps that promise chemistry by algorithm, co-parenting calendars that look like air-traffic control, eco-anxieties negotiated over dinner, and the paradox of “quality time” in households where everything is scheduled to the minute. You can feel a seasoned sense of stagecraft: a blend of boulevard theatre snap, stand-up candor, and just enough improvisation to make each performance sparkle in its own way. The humor plays fair—sharp without cruelty, affectionate without complacency—so that the infamous “who is right?” question becomes a shared game rather than a battle. For comedy lovers, there are winks to the tempo and sensibility of recent mainstream formats—those fast-cut, challenge-driven energies viewers now recognize from television institutions or streaming events such as LOL: Qui rit, sort!, the spirited late-night humor seen around Quotidien, and the live verve celebrated at gatherings in the spirit of Montreux Comedy. These references are not pasted on; they infuse the dramaturgy with a now-ish pulse, keeping the show agile and resonant for today’s audiences.

As a venue, we also value how Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n’ont jamais tort rewards a live, in-the-room experience. It is written to breathe with spectators: laughter cascades, pauses invite complicity, and certain moments invite gentle audience interaction that varies night to night. The scenography is nimble—lights cue the emotional contour of a quarrel-turned-confession; a snatch of sound design punctuates a revelation; props are deployed as visual punchlines rather than clutter. Expect a performance that runs a little over an hour, paced with the precision of a sitcom and the elasticity of the theatre. At Le Rideau Rouge, our team prepares the hall to keep that rhythm flowing smoothly: doors open in advance so you can settle in, the bar service is timed to preserve the show’s momentum, and the room’s acoustics are tuned to carry the laughter from the last row to the footlights. If you’ve enjoyed quick-fire couple comedies or the observational sharpness of contemporary sketch culture, this production will feel tailor-made. The current run reflects a troupe at ease with its material and hungry to surprise, which is precisely the energy we love to host in Lyon. Early booking is recommended—our space was designed for closeness, and that’s part of the magic when the sparks fly between stage and seats.
