Following four consecutive sold-out arena tours, Jack Whitehall is back after far too long behaving himself. Returning to what he does best, Bad Influence sees Jack unleash fearless, gloriously unfiltered stand-up on the biggest stages across the UK. Fresh from starring in Prime Video’s Malice and stepping back into the spotlight as host of this year’s BRIT Awards, he’s ready to deliver bigger laughs than ever.
Expect razor-sharp observations, brilliantly awkward confessions and the mischievous charm that has made Jack one of the UK’s most loved comedians. Bad Influence promises outrageous stories and moments that flirt with going just a little too far… in the best possible way. Bigger arenas mean bigger laughs, with the same quick wit and playful chaos fans know from his streaming hits, sold-out tours and unforgettable TV appearances. Start counting down now - Jack Whitehall: Bad Influence is set to light up arenas across the UK in 2027.
On his live tour Jack said: “I’m so excited to be heading back out on tour in 2027! Toddlers, planning a wedding - it’s been a busy few years for me, life-wise, so I think it’s high time I got back onstage and vented to my fans. I can’t wait to hit the road again.”
