Jacqueline Novak: Get on Your Knees

Very good comedian I had somehow never heard of. She mixes clever word play with animated almost but not quite over the top performance. Putting you in the artists shoes in her moments of power and weakness, in coming of age and truly showing she grasps herself and probably everyone else. Most of all this is funny and she a great storyteller like I can't even like wonder if like it might be like the best special of 2024. Jacqueline Novak will have you laughing from beginning to end! I don't really have anything negative to add or any criticism, I just really enjoyed this comedy special and am eager to delve into her back catalogue.

Brilliant and unique. Worth a watch. Definitely didn't laugh out loud but a new twist on stand up. The entire skit is about one topic that you can guess based on the title.

She'll keep you on the edge of your seat in ways that you honestly have no idea what she'll say next.

I've never seen stand up spoken so fast and poetic.

She's a very fast spoken individual but very poetic in her way to weave in and out of storylines for 1.5 hours. It will be interesting to see what she comes out with next.

You can tell she's got much more to share as she's got one of racing minds but she's well thought out.

It may be hard for some to keep up with the pace of this genius. This must be the most words per minute and jokes per minute that I've seen in a comedy special.

Of course we are talking about some very adult themes here. Some very graphic descriptions of human anatomy, but we're all just human. She really spells out what so many of us have been thinking all along though.

Quite verbose, Jacqueline moves along at pace that may be difficult for some to keep up with. But if you're able to put your phone down for a moment and keep up, you are in for quite a ride.

I promise you have never heard an hour and a half conversation, mostly about BJ's (but not entirely) that was this intelligent.

After having seen quite a lot of female comics like Isla Schleisinger and Amy Schumer bomb miserably on stage in Netflix specials, I was quite reluctant to click on this. However, I did. Maybe because the subject matter appealed to my lizard brain. Anyways...

Jacqueline Novak's attitude and rhythm sure are much different than that of her peers. This is more like a single person theatre than a standup show. I don't even recall how Netflix packaged it but to me it came as a bearable and even entertaining version of that "Why Don't You Like Me?" art house woman rant from an episode of Friends.

She performs well.

I mean the walking, rope jumping, breathlessly talking on stage. But jeez, this is almost 100 minutes and I stopped at the 83rd.

I'm pretty sure the whole thing would be more impactful and even funnier to listen to if only a professional had edited down a third of the source material.

It would have become rock-hard material which the audience could handle without a risk of choking on it.

I don't think I have heard such direct sexual in your face comedy from anyone like this. I defy anyone to actually count the times she says ****, ****, *******, ******. Surprisingly it is not done in a crass way. If the idea of full hour of sexual discussion is not uncomfortable for you. Give this a try. It certainly was different.

I would agree, with others, that it was fast paced and densely packed! So it seems longer than it was, and you may feel exhausted at the end.

Was it funny? Yes and no. At no time did I laugh out loud, but I smiled a lot. It is more of a performance. A highly energetic performance.

Bravo, well done Jacqueline.
