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

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

From the vantage point of Le Rideau Rouge, this is exactly the kind of contemporary comedy that our room was built to host: quick-witted, sharp on everyday life, and irresistibly relatable from the front row to the back. Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort takes the timeless subject of relationships and filters it through brisk dialogue, sly observational turns, and a constant game of ping-pong between expectations and reality. The atmosphere of our intimate stage amplifies the fast pace and the little nuances—an eyebrow raised, an aside, a pause that lands the biggest laugh of the night. The show navigates first dates, long-term compromises, family logistics, and the myths that cling to “he said, she said,” inviting the audience to recognize themselves without ever feeling targeted. In our Lyon home, where the proximity between performer and audience is a hallmark, the energy loops back and forth: laughter grows communal, and each callback lands with the feeling that it was meant for this room.

Artistic momentum and what’s new on stage

The artist arrives at Le Rideau Rouge in lively creative form, with a season that refreshes the material to reflect the present moment: smartphones at the dinner table, the infamous “mental load,” eco-friendly domestic habits that turn into debates, and the comedy of group chats that never stop buzzing. On stage, you’ll hear playful, audience-adopted nicknames for standout bits—sketches often cited by fans as “Le mode d’emploi du couple,” “Le procès de la couette,” “La charge mentale expliquée à deux,” and “GPS vs Intuition”—moments that distill universal situations into precise, theatrical beats. The rhythm is part theatrical, part stand-up, and part conversation with the room: call-and-response asides, improvised riffs triggered by a look from the crowd, and thought-out punchlines that weave back at the end as satisfying payoffs. This ongoing momentum also lives beyond our walls, with widely shared clips and excerpts that keep the conversation going between performances. By the time the lights go down here, many spectators have already heard a line or two online; experiencing the full arc in our theater lets the material breathe, surprise, and deepen, with our acoustics and sightlines ensuring those micro-moments—especially the quiet beats before a punch—land just right.

As a venue, we prepare the room to underline the show’s strengths: an intimate layout that lets reactions ripple naturally, attentive lighting angles to accentuate shifts between the characters’ points of view, and a sound mix tailored for fast exchanges where timing is king. Les femmes ont toujours raison, les hommes n'ont jamais tort thrives on contrast—tenderness versus exasperation, logic versus instinct, planning versus spontaneity—and our stage crew leans into those changes of mood so you never miss the comedic pivot. Audiences at Le Rideau Rouge often come in couples or groups of friends, and we see the same pattern after the curtain call: conversations continue in the foyer, everyone comparing which line felt a little “too true.” That sense of shared recognition is our favorite part of hosting the show. Whether it’s the whispered détente reached over a dishwasher routine, the epic standoff known (in the room, at least) as “Le procès de la couette,” or the lovingly exasperated taxonomy of household negotiations, the performance speaks the language of our everyday lives—and our space is tuned to make every nuance audible, every reaction visible, and every laugh contagious.
