Jacqueline Novak: Get on Your Knees (Postponed)

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

“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

“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’s funny and healing.” – Ilana Glazer

Comedian Jacqueline Novak’s GET ON YOUR KNEES is the most high-brow show about blow jobs you’ll ever see. Novak spins her material on the femininity of the penis and the stoicism of the vulva into an unexpectedly philosophical show that’s part feminist outcry, part coming-of-age tale of triumph. Ira Glass calls it a “nearly Talmudic dissection of a subject. Really funny and just really like nothing else.”Jacqueline Novak (writer/ performer) is a comedian whose off-Broadway, one-woman stand-up show, “Get on Your Knees” is a New York Times “Critic’s Pick.” Recognized on two Times lists, “Best Theater of 2019” and “Best Comedy of 2019,” the show has extended four times in New York City, along with two sold-out shows at Largo in L.A.
