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

At Le Rideau Rouge: a night of razor‑sharp couple comedy

At Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon, we are delighted to welcome the sparkling, quick-witted stage hit Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort, a title that announces exactly the kind of hilarious domestic crossfire our audience loves. As a venue dedicated to live performance in all its intimacy and immediacy, we cherish pieces that turn everyday life into theatre, and this one draws its energy from the universal choreography of couples navigating modern love. Expect rapid-fire dialogue, sly observations about the mental load, the politics of chores, and the mythology of the TV remote, all funneled through a sharp comic engine. The staging thrives on the closeness of our room: faces are visible, reactions contagious, and the laughter ricochets from the front row to the balcony. We program this work because it feels tailor‑made for Lyons’ appetite for observational comedy that is both warm and cheeky, a perfect fit for our red-curtained space where timing, rhythm, and eye contact have room to breathe.

Artistic news, momentum, and the pulse of today’s comedy

Our audience has been asking for more contemporary comedy that speaks to the current moment, and this show arrives in step with that demand. The creative team behind Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort has been touring widely this season, honing scenes with topical references to digital dating etiquette, shifting workplace dynamics at home, and the delicate art of compromise. The material lands with viewers who keep up with the rhythms of today’s humor across platforms and programs like Quelle époque !, Quotidien, C à vous, and Les Grosses Têtes, as well as festival sets showcased at the Montreux Comedy Festival. Without leaning on gimmicks, the writing integrates fresh beats and micro-sketch moments that feel native to the social media era yet gain extra bite onstage, live and unfiltered. From our vantage point at Le Rideau Rouge, we appreciate how the show has been refreshed for the 2024–2025 season: scene transitions are tighter, character pivots are crisper, and a few surprising interactive passages invite the room to weigh in—always with benevolent mischief. This is the kind of living, evolving performance we champion, one that grows with each date while preserving a clear comic signature.

Hosting this production at Le Rideau Rouge means placing it in a space designed for the musicality of laughter. The show’s rhythm—banter, pause, callback, explosion—benefits from our acoustics and sightlines, ensuring that every throwaway aside and sotto voce confession lands where it should. Couples come to recognize themselves; groups of friends relish the gentle roasting of both sides; and solo spectators enjoy the thrill of watching universal truths become punchlines. The writing balances caricature with empathy: a playful volley of clichés gives way to moments of recognition, then to a cathartic burst of self-awareness that the entire room shares. There is even room for improvisation built around the evening’s crowd, which keeps each performance singular to Lyon. As custodians of a stage that prizes proximity, we can say this is precisely the kind of piece that makes our theatre hum: contemporary, relatable, crafted with care, and delivered with the magnetic precision that only live performance can offer. Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort belongs here, in front of our red velvet, where the laughter feels close enough to touch.
