Though he’s a competent facilitator, Rife never generates the electricity of true, transcendent spontaneity. The framing itself is fairly trite.

There’s a time and a place for crowd-work during a live stand-up comedy show. But time and again in this hour, Rife’s crowd prompts the loudest laughs.

Lost interest fast in this "comedy" special. I think this style works better in short clips. Crowd work can be funny but there's not enough here to keep it interesting.

Doing something new, critics are so rubbish at moving with the times. We don’t care what you say. We buy the tickets. It’s not supposed to be a super smooth written special. It’s joking around with the crowd. Come on people, get with the program. Matt is a genius at making people feel comfortable to confess these screwed up things. Love him. ‘Be ok with silence’ Dave Chapelle advice.

Horrible. How is this talent at all. Couldn't wait for it to be over it dragged & knowing it went on longer in person is pretty embarrassing that was the "best" clips netflix was able to get out of it. Feel bad for the girl talking about being cheated on & he just bashes her in front of everyone for something she can't even control. Just seeing her try to defend herself & his response was super demeaning. I know comedy is making fun of people sometimes which is funny/fun but nothing he was saying even made any sense. I don't think he even understands how to relate to real life adults after watching this.

Matt Rife's comedy special *Lucid* falls flat, offering more awkward pauses and forced jokes than genuine laughs. The material feels lacks the sharpness needed to keep the audience engaged. Unfortunately, this special fails to deliver the comedic impact one would expect.
