VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Phonearl Good start, but then it gets ruined

Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Humaira Grant It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Paul Magne Haakonsen I am not overly familiar with the work of Chris D'Elia. I think I've seen him once on TV in some stand-up show, although I don't recall the title or anything from it. I happened to find the "Man on Fire" stand-up comedy show on Netflix and decided to sit down and watch it.There certainly was lots of good laughs to be had here in this stand-up comedy show. Chris D'Elia's jokes are quite hilarious and brilliant, and he delivers them with force.Chris D'Elia is very animated and full of energy.I must admit that I was more than entertained at the end of this stand-up comedy show, and I will say that Chris D'Elia certainly is a funny man.So if you like stand-up comedy shows and have nothing to see, then I can recommend that you take the time to sit down and watch "Man on Fire", because it is quite entertaining.

classicsoncall I guess I'll have to come to grips with being an old fuddy-duddy when it comes to stand-ups like Chris D'Elia. Great comics of the past like George Burns, Bob Hope, Red Skelton and Milton Berle didn't have to rely on effusive use of four letter words or an every other word insertion of the 'F' bomb in their routines to get laughs. Some of D'Elia's stuff is worth hearing, particularly when he riffs on people who think they're special by virtue of being alive. He builds a repertoire around my summary line above that you can tell sends some of those in his Vancouver audience a bit off-kilter because he's talking about them. While skewering traditional concepts like love, marriage and having kids, he doesn't really make it clear if he's still married himself after ten years. Maybe yes, maybe not, or maybe again; the guy's wife (if he's still married) probably spends a good part of her time shell shocked, because to him, love is, 'I guess...'. Hard to put that concept across without seeing his routine, so if you're up to it, check it out. I'd pass on another one of his specials.

doncognitio 7.3/10A lot of stand up doesn't get me laughs, but this did. Along the line of Patrice O'Niel, Greg Giraldo, Louie C.K, his comedy is a little darker. Chris does characters well and his story style of stand up has punch lines that hit. His style reminds me of Tom Segura and Dave Chappelle, although Giraldo is the only artist mentioned that this special was better than. If Chris puts out another special I would definitely watch it.

Casual Observer ... comes an even less original, less entertaining, less funny "comedian." 65 minutes of Mr. D'Elia spinning his wheels in a hack'y, derivative-comedy ditch were a bit too much of a bad thing.I was hoovering on a solid 4 star rating for much of the show, however that last bit about the 4 year old girl was just too painful to watch... even 2 stars are too generous for that kind of dross. At 36 years old, Mr. D'Elia is well past the point where a talented comedian would have already developed a unique voice, a distinctive style... a personality! - an overuse of profanity and a fixation on sodomy do not a personality make.Recommended to no one. Avoid.
