‘Netflix should let Jacqueline Novak do anything she wants, forever’
Cracked Magazine

Jacqueline received a 2024 Emmy nomination for her Netflix special Get On Your Knees, directed by Natasha Lyonne for screen and described as ‘one of the most intricately conceived and written specials’ by The Hollywood Reporter.

Beginning life at Edinburgh Fringe and Off-Broadway, the one-woman stand-up show was a New York Times Critic’s Pick, extending numerous times before touring the U.S and selling out across multiple London runs. The Guardian named Get On Your Knees as one of the top three comedy shows of 2022, while the Evening Standard described it as ‘exuding both wit and wisdom… thoroughly deserving of its standing ovation’.

Jacqueline has been described as ‘a stone cold genius’ by Anne Hathaway, and ‘the Muhammed Ali of comedy’ by John Mulaney.

Former hosts of the popular wellness podcast Poog, Jacqueline and Kate Berlant now present new weekly episodes of Berlant & Novak. Vogue describes the experience as “an intellectual investigation of contemporary life between your two smartest and funniest friends.”

This is a unique chance to see Jacqueline work on her new hour, and be the first in line to have the opportunity to see its beginnings.
