Jacqueline Novak: Get On Your Knees

See the New York Times Critics Pick!

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.”

"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

★★★★ "Absurd, real and hilarious. Novak's winning show does what the best comedy can do: It changes the conversation.”

• Time Out New York

"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

“Jacqueline Novak’s Get On Your Knees solidifies her place as a comedic powerhouse — the rest of the world just needs to catch up.”
