According to Netflix, the synopsis for the comedy special reads:
“Comedian Jacqueline Novak delivers a funny and philosophical meditation on s*x, coming-of-age and a certain body part in this intimate stand-up special.”
As Jacqueline Novak’s comedy special is about to hit Netflix in a few days, here is all you need to know about the upcoming show.
Jacqueline Novak: Get on Your Knees is "raunchy" and "poignant"
Jacqueline Novak: Get on Your Knees will premiere on Netflix on January 23, 2024, and the comedy special’s runtime will be 1 hour and 34 minutes. The show was filmed at The Town Hall Theatre in New York City and was Novak’s final performance of her Get on Your Knees stand-up show tour, which premiered in 2019.
The makers have described this show as a “concert film-meets-comedy special.” According to the press release, the comedy special is:
“both raunchy and poignant, an unexpectedly philosophical, coming-of-age tale of triumph that pushes the boundaries of stand-up.”
Actor Jeremy O Harris, who is known for Netflix’s series Emily in Paris, praised the comedy special by calling it “hilarious."
“Never in my lifetime could I imagine seeing such a hilarious, rigorous, and gut tingling semiotic deconstruction of the phallus in the theatre,” Harris said.
The actor further added:
“This felt as if Andrea Dworkin and Spaulding Gray had a child they made listen to only Moms Mabley and read only Mary Oliver.”
