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

At Le Rideau Rouge: an evening with Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort

As a neighborhood stage renowned for intimate comedy nights and lively audience energy, we are thrilled to welcome Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort to Le Rideau Rouge in Lyon. Our room was built for this kind of quick-fire, couples-and-friends comedy: close enough for performers to catch a raised eyebrow in the third row, and warm enough that laughter cascades from one table to the next. The production brings a playful battle-of-the-sexes dynamic to the fore—snappy dialogue, razor-edged punchlines, and a rhythm that alternates between affectionate teasing and full-on rhetorical sparring. In our space, the show’s conversational tempo lands with precision: the minimal set, the proximity of the red curtain, and the crisply paced light and sound cues draw the audience into every micro-gesture. Expect the familiar frictions of modern relationships—the mental load at home, the etiquette of texting, the logistics of date night—to be turned into combustible comedic set pieces. We program this title because it reliably creates a communal mood: couples nudging each other, groups of friends exchanging side glances, and the whole room sharing that "they really went there" catharsis that only well-honed live comedy can deliver.

Current momentum, fresh material, and a playful edge

From our vantage point as a venue, what excites us most is how the creative team behind this production keeps the material feeling current. The writing taps into the quick-change sketch sensibility audiences recognize from today’s comedy culture—think the brisk timing popularized by shows like LOL: Qui rit, sort! and the club spirit that pulses through Le Jamel Comedy Club or Le Fridge. That sensibility shows up in the way scenes pivot: a phone notification explodes into a whirlwind misunderstanding; a supposedly innocent dinner turns into a mock tribunal; a “we need to talk” becomes a shared autopsy of expectations and double standards. The company’s touring pace has honed a tight, audience-aware delivery: they welcome spur-of-the-moment reactions, volley ad-libs without derailing the story, and lean into the communal vibe that makes Le Rideau Rouge special. If you have followed recent stage hits in the same vein—titles that dissect coupledom with wit and tenderness—you will appreciate how this edition threads topical themes into its fabric without losing the joy of a good gag. We see returning spectators precisely because new touches get woven in: updated references, sharper callbacks, and little winks to the way modern love is negotiated through emojis, shared calendars, and a constant stream of “did you really just say that?”

Hosting the show here also means crafting an evening around it. Doors open with our trademark conviviality, the bar humming before curtain, and our team on hand to guide you to seats that bring you close to the action. The set is nimble—domestic corners that morph from living room to café to bedroom door in a heartbeat—so the pace never drops and the jokes fire cleanly. We notice the patterns: date nights that turn into repeat visits with friends; the post-show glow as audiences recount favorite bits in the foyer; the ripple of recognition when a line nails something everyone has thought but never dared to say out loud. Because the humor is rooted in daily life, it plays equally well for those out on a first outing and for long-time partners who know exactly how a “tiny misunderstanding” can grow legs. Our programming goal is simple: seat you in the best possible conditions for laughter, keep the tempo effortless, and let this troupe’s chemistry do the rest. Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort thrives in the close quarters of Le Rideau Rouge, where comic timing is amplified, glances become punchlines, and the room’s shared heartbeat turns sharp writing into a vivid, unforgettable night.
