Jacqueline Novak is a comedian and writer bringing her new show with all-new notions to stages across the country in 2026. Her one-woman show Get On Your Knees earned a New York Times "Critic's Pick" designation and a 2020 Drama Desk Award nomination for Outstanding Solo Performance. The show sold out off-Broadway, toured nationally and internationally, and was ultimately released as an Emmy-nominated Netflix special directed by Natasha Lyonne, with The Hollywood Reporter calling it "one of the most intricately conceived and written specials I've ever watched."
Novak co-hosts Poog with Kate Berlant — named one of TIME's Top Ten Podcasts of the Year at its launch and a New York Times Best of 2025 selection. She is a regular guest on Late Night with Seth Meyers and The Tonight Show. Her debut memoir, How to Weep in Public: Feeble Offerings on Depression from One Who Knows (Crown), celebrates its tenth anniversary this year.
