About GET ON YOUR KNEES






Ostensibly a hilarious stand-up show about the blowjob, Get on Your Knees is also an unexpectedly philosophical, coming-of-age tale of triumph. A break-out hit off-Broadway, audiences returned for repeat viewings across multiple sold out runs in NYC. This New York Times “Critic’s Pick" earned Jacqueline a Drama Desk nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance. Jacqueline has since toured the show nationally and internationally. This tour is the very last chance to see Get on Your Knees live.


“Brilliant..."- The New York Times


"Clearly her masterwork." - New York Magazine


“An overthinker’s delight... - The New Yorker


“The true subject of Get on Your Knees is language and its beautiful, delusional attempts to make amends for human finitude.” - New York Review of Books, by Andrea Long Chu


“In a moment when the boundaries between high and low culture have all but dissolved, Novak has found one of the few remaining tensions to play with." - Paris Review


“The jokes are tremendous.” - Natasha Lyonne for Interview Magazine “It was a staggering show.” - Miranda July


“...as if Andrea Dworkin and Spaulding Gray had a child they made listen to only Moms Mabley and read only Mary Oliver.” – Jeremy O. Harris


" I howled the whole time." – Amy Sedaris

"Ladies and Gentlemen, I have seen the Muhammad Ali of comedy.” - John Mulaney
