Jacqueline’s Netflix-special Get On Your Knees took the comedy world by storm—earning a 2024 Emmy nomination. Hailed by The Hollywood Reporter as "one of the most intricately conceived and written specials,” it also secured a spot on Time Magazine’s list of the Top 25 Netflix Stand-Up Specials of All Time.

Originally debuting at Edinburgh Fringe before an extended Off-Broadway run, this one-woman stand-up show became a New York Times Critic’s Pick, selling out theaters across the U.S. and multiple London runs. The Guardian named it one of the top three comedy shows of 2022, while the Evening Standard praised its blend of "wit and wisdom,” calling it "thoroughly deserving of its standing ovation.”

With a comedic voice like no other, Jacqueline has been called a "stone-cold genius” by Anne Hathaway and "the Muhammad Ali of comedy” by John Mulaney. After co-hosting the cult-favorite wellness podcast Poog, Jacqueline and longtime collaborator Kate Berlant now bring their razor-sharp humor to the new weekly podcast, Berlant & Novak. Vogue describes it as "an intellectual investigation of contemporary life between your two smartest and funniest friends.”
