Jacqueline Novak: Get on Your Knees

A razor-sharp stand-up special that blends personal storytelling with incisive cultural critique, this film finds comedian Jacqueline Novak turning candid attention to sex, pleasure, and the awkward realities of adult intimacy. Using a mix of observational humor, scientific curiosity, and disarmingly honest anecdotes, she dismantles taboos and invites the audience to laugh at — and learn from — the messy, often hilarious ways people try to connect. Her delivery is theatrical yet conversational, pairing brisk pacing with moments of genuine vulnerability.

The result is both smart and accessible: jokes land hard while occasional beats of sincere reflection give the performance emotional weight. Whether riffing on anatomy, modern dating rituals, or the social pressures around desire, Novak’s wit is sharp and fresh, making this a must-see for viewers who appreciate stand-up that’s as thought-provoking as it is entertaining.
