Jacqueline Novak: Get on Your Knees, directed by Natasha Lyonne, is now on Netflix!
Comedian Jacqueline Novak’s GET ON YOUR KNEES, her break-out hit stand-up show about the blowjob, is now on Netflix.
A word-of-mouth sensation Off-Broadway, directed for the stage by John Early, the show first took off in 2019, where audience members showed for repeat viewings across multiple sold-out runs. A Time’s Critic’s Pick, the show earned Jacqueline a Drama Desk nomination for Best Solo Performance.
Novak teamed up with director Natasha Lyonne and cinematographer Sam Levy (Rothaniel, Lady Bird) to film the show’s final performance as a concert film-meets-comedy special at historic Town Hall in New York City. Ostensibly a 90-minute stand-up set about the blowjob, GET ON YOUR KNEES is both raunchy and poignant, an unexpectedly philosophical, coming-of-age tale of triumph that pushes the boundaries of stand-up.
John Mulaney said: “Ladies and Gentlemen, I have seen the Muhammad Ali of comedy.”
