Jack Whitehall: Bad Influence

Jack Whitehall is playing the Bournemouth International Centre on Monday 1 February and Tuesday 2 February 2027, both nights starting at 8:00pm. He's touring a brand-new show called Bad Influence, which is part of a national arena tour, so the Bournemouth dates are two of several stops across the UK.

It's a bit of a return to the stage for him. He's been busy with other things lately: he had a role in Prime Video's Malice and spent a stint hosting The BRIT Awards, so this is his first proper run of stand-up in a while. The tour title, Bad Influence, gives you a fair idea of the territory he'll be working in, and being a new show, it'll be fresh material rather than a best-of from his previous tours.

If you're not already familiar with his style, he's known for fearless, unfiltered stand-up and a quick wit that keeps the pace moving. The critics have been generous, with The Times describing his work as a lesson in 'how to do arena comedy' — the kind of set that works as well in a big hall as it does in a small club. He's often cited as one of the UK's most loved comedians, so you've got a good sense of what to expect from the night.

Both shows are at the BIC's Windsor Hall, and they're recommended for ages 14 and over, so it's one to keep in mind if you're thinking of bringing anyone younger. Tickets start from £38.75, with the two dates on Monday 1 February and Tuesday 2 February, both kicking off at 8:00pm.
