Sommore: Chandelier Fly Age Rating
The special is officially Rated TV-MA for:
Crude Humor: Graphic descriptions of bodily functions, dating mishaps, and physical appearances.

Sommore: Chandelier Fly Parents Guide
Profanity: Like most of Sommore’s previous work (such as Queen Chandelier), this special features constant strong language. It is intended for those comfortable with uncensored stand-up.
Sexual Themes: There are frequent references to sex, anatomy, and romantic dynamics. While there is no nudity, the verbal descriptions are explicit.
Social Issues: Sommore often critiques modern culture, which may include sensitive jokes about race, gender roles, and death. These are handled through a comedic lens but may require a mature perspective to appreciate the satire.
Substance Use: Brief comedic mentions of alcohol consumption or “party” culture may occur.
Is it Suitable for Teens?
Sommore: Chandelier Fly is generally not recommended for younger teens. The TV-MA rating indicates it is designed specifically for adults.
For older teens (17+), it may be appropriate if they are already fans of stand-up comedy and are accustomed to adult language. However, the humor is very much focused on “grown-up” problems—mortgages, long-term relationships, and legacy—which may not resonate with a younger audience. Parents should be aware that the special contains “unapologetic” viewpoints that might be too cynical or explicit for some households.
What Parents Can Do
Preview Previous Specials: If you aren’t familiar with Sommore, watch 10 minutes of her 2023 special Queen Chandelier on Netflix. Her style and language remain consistent.
Contextualize the Satire: If watching with an older teen, discuss how comedians use “bravado” and exaggeration to make points about society and self-worth.
Check the Vibe: Understand that this is a “night out” style comedy show. It is meant to be loud, brassy, and provocative.
