THE OFF-BROADWAY SMASH ONE-WOMAN SHOW MAKES A TRIUMPHANT RETURN TO THE PARKWAY!
A NEW YORK TIMES CRITIC’S PICK!
 

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!

What people are saying:

“Critic’s Pick! Brilliant on the absurdity of having and being a thinking, feeling, desiring body. Shrewd, explicit, though not exactly raunchy, this is the funniest show about Cartesian dualism you will see all year!” - The New York Times

“Clearly her masterwork.” - New York Magazine

“An overthinker’s delight, and a reminder that a woman’s humor can cut as deeply as her rage.” - The New Yorker

“The true subject of Get on Your Knees is language and its beautiful, delusional attempts to make amends for human finitude. I’m not kidding. Over eighty minutes of manic soliloquy, Novak transfigures the clumsy corporeality of fellatio into a sparkling ode to poetry itself.” - New York Review of Books, by Andrea Long Chu

“A dissection of the art of the blowjob, with all the critical faculties and language of a graduate-level seminar… 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

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

“The jokes are tremendous and hilarious, but also the exposure of it—it’s big boy stuff. It really is.” - Natasha Lyonne for Interview Magazine

“It was a staggering show, the kind of thing that changed everyone in the room. I laughed beside a stranger and in laughing together we knew that we had both experienced the very thing Jacqueline was talking about. She’s major.” - Miranda July

“Never in my lifetime could I imagine seeing such a hilarious, rigorous, and gut tingling semiotic deconstruction of the phallus in the theatre. This felt 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 felt my teenage self seen and heard. I hope a lot of young women, older women, young men, older men, and also non-binary peeps of all ages see this show because it is funny and healing.” – Ilana Glazer

“A must see!!! I howled the whole time.” – Amy Sedaris

Jacqueline Novak is a touring comedian and author and regular on “Late Night with Seth Meyers” and “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.” Jacqueline’s memoir How to Weep in Public: Feeble Offerings on Depression from One Who Knows was published by Crown in 2016 and is now available as an audiobook. New episodes of POOG, a Time Magazine Top Ten Podcast 2021, come out every Tuesday, cohosted with Kate Berlant.
